At the Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we believe that “you can’t put a price on your child.” So when it comes to grandparent(s) or third-party custody and visitation rights, our family law attorney believe in putting the child’s best interests in the forefront of every decision. Since our law firm was founded in 1992, our lawyer has been dedicated to being a strong and compassionate voice for the least powerful among us.

Whether a family is already not intact or has split up due to a death, divorce, or other life-altering event, a grandparent(s) and other relatives or parties assuming parental roles may have the right to whole or partial custody and visitation rights.

Many Factors Determine Philadelphia Grandparent(s) Rights

When clients contact our Pennsylvania custody and visitation lawyer at the Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz, we need to find out pertinent factors such as whether the immediate family is permanently split up, if the custodial parents are unfit, and whether or not the grandparent or third-party’s presence is beneficial or detrimental to the child or children involved. Currently, under Pennsylvania statute and case law, grandparents have automatic standing to pursue custody and/or visitation of their grandchildren. Because the Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz understands the unique and special bond between grandparents and their grandchildren, we have been successful in legally protecting that bond. On the other hand, occasionally a grandparent’s pursuit of custody or visitation can be detrimental to a child for a variety of reasons. The Law Offices of Stacy E. Schwarz can analyze the important factors and nuances in order to protect the child’s best interests and be advocates for their parents or other primary caretaker(s) who wish to deny or limit a grandparent’s custodial visitation for solid rational reasons.
