Grandparents’ Rights

San Jose Grandparents' Rights Attorney

The Padilla Law Firm

Grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. They are teachers, sources of comfort, playmates, and unlike parents—they are rarely, if ever, 'the bad guys'. Unfortunately, when something happens to end a marriage, at least one set of grandparents is left to wonder what kind of relationship they will be able to have and build with their grandchildren in the future.

And while grandparents do not have any 'automatic' or 'unlimited' rights, they do have some rights, in the best interest of the child, that courts will consider. But to assert them effectively, it is important that you have a lawyer representing you who has specific experience and knowledge of the law concerning grandparents' rights.

The Padilla Law Firm has uncommon experience and expertise in handling grandparents' rights issues for clients from throughout the San Jose, Silicon Valley, and Greater San Francisco Bay areas. This practice includes assisting people who are seeking visitation rights to their grandchildren following a divorce or the death of the grandchild's parent.

In many cases, the firm has successfully helped grandparents assert these rights and has assisted them in getting the most contact possible with their grandchildren.

The firm's other work in this area includes helping grandparents who are seeking to adopt or become the legal guardians of their grandkids and also helping those grandparents with juvenile dependency law concerns.
