grandparents rights movement

The grandparents' rights movement advocates for the permission of grandparents to maintain meaningful contact with their grandchildren, especially when parental circumstances, such as divorce or loss of parental rights, threaten such relationships. It seeks legal recognition that grandparents can request visitation rights through courts, emphasizing the importance of family bonds and stability for children's emotional well-being. While laws vary by jurisdiction, the movement aims to ensure that grandparents' relationships with their grandchildren are considered and protected under the legal system, balancing family dynamics with the child's best interests.
