Grandparents Rights Amendment

The Grandparents Rights Amendment is legislation that recognizes grandparents' interests in maintaining relationships with their grandchildren. It typically allows grandparents to seek court intervention if they believe those relationships are being unfairly restricted or terminated, especially in cases of parental separation, divorce, or custodial disputes. The aim is to ensure that grandparents can continue meaningful involvement in their grandchildren’s lives, provided it’s in the best interest of the child. Such amendments balance the rights of parents with the importance of family connections, allowing courts to evaluate and preserve these relationships when appropriate.
