El Paso Grandparents' Rights Attorneys

Protecting the Best Interests of Your Grandchild in El Paso

It is not uncommon for a parent to distance themselves from a grandchild. Sometimes this is due to a strained relationship with the grandparent. Other times, it is due to the parent's inability to care for the child. Regardless of the reasons, the grandparent may be concerned that they will lose contact with their grandchild.

At Linette Aguirre-Gonzalez, PLLC, we understand the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. We also understand the rights of parents. Parents have the right to make decisions regarding their child. However, the law also recognizes that parents do not have unlimited power. Parents must act in the best interest of their child. If you are concerned that a parent is not acting in the best interest of their child, our El Paso grandparent rights lawyers can review your situation and help you protect your relationship with your grandchild.

Types of Grandparents' Rights

There are two types of grandparent rights:

  • Standing – This refers to a grandparent's ability to initiate a legal action that may affect a grandchild. An example would be a grandparent filing for visitation rights.
  • Relief – This refers to a type of action a grandparent can take, such as filing for custody or visitation rights.

A grandparent may file for relief if they believe that the parent is not acting in the best interest of the child. As mentioned previously, parents must act in the best interest of the child. If a parent is not, a grandparent may seek to obtain custody or visitation rights in order to protect the child.
