The Grandparents' Rights Movement

The Grandparents' Rights Movement advocates for the legal recognition and protection of grandparents' rights to maintain relationships with their grandchildren, especially following divorce, custody disputes, or death of a parent. Proponents argue that these relationships are vital for children's emotional well-being and stability. In many jurisdictions, laws vary widely, and grandparents may struggle to gain visitation or custody. The movement seeks to influence legislation and raise awareness about the positive impacts grandparents can have in a child's life, promoting a broader understanding of family dynamics and the importance of intergenerational bonds.
