New Jersey Grandparent Visitation Lawyer

Child custody disputes during a divorce or separation can leave a grandparent without visitation rights. A parent may be given sole custody of the child and abruptly cut off their in-laws. Divorcing parents may not be able to come to an agreement regarding custody and visitation and the judge’s final decision may affect grandparents and siblings. If you are in this situation, then you may greatly benefit from the assistance of a New Jersey grandparent visitation lawyer from Moskowitz Law Group.

What Factors Go into Determining Grandparents’ Visitation?

Pursuing grandparent visitation can be a difficult process. Grandparents do not automatically have visitation rights and must apply for them under a statute that gives them a cause of action to do so. When applying for visitation rights as a grandparent, it is important to understand what factors a court will review to make their final decision.

First, courts evaluate the nature of the relationship between the grandparent and their grandchild, including whether there is any history of abuse. The judge will consider how much time has elapsed since the grandparent has been in contact with the child. Courts may involve mental health professionals in this process to provide a professional assessment of whether a grandparent is a positive presence in a child’s life.

Courts will also consider the relationship between the grandchildren and their parents. Strained relationships between grandparents and their children or children-in-law can impact a visitation application. In cases involving divorced parents, courts may also assess how a proposed visitation schedule between the grandparents and their grandchildren would affect an existing custody schedule. The courts will also consider the good faith of the grandparent filing the application.

Given the range of factors involved in these cases, it is important to have skilled representation from a New Jersey grandparent visitation attorney to pursue a positive outcome. Our team can make sure that a grandparent’s rights are protected throughout the duration of their case.
