Honest Answers for Grandparents Seeking Visitation in North Texas
In Texas, the rights of a grandparent to maintain a relationship with a grandchild — even over the objection of the child's parents — have a long and complex history. Although a landmark decision defined some of these rights in 2000 (Troxel v. Granville), the practical application of grandparents' rights in Texas family courts is still evolving.
What does this mean to the grandparent seeking visitation with a grandchild over a parent's objection? Unfortunately, it may mean that the road ahead is unclear. It certainly means that your best option is to consult an experienced and knowledgeable family law attorney who will evaluate your situation and help you understand your options.
