More and more grandparents are becoming involved in custody cases about their grandchildren. Some grandparents have to fight for full custody of their grandchildren because they recognize that the children's parents aren't fit caretakers. Other grandparents still want to visit with their grandkids after the children's parents separate. For these grandparents, it can be difficult to watch their child go through a custody battle. If their child doesn't get adequate time for visitation, the grandparents won't get to see their grandkids very much unless the other parent allows them to be involved (as of now, there are no laws that guarantee a grandparent's right to visitation).
There is hope. If the grandparents can prove to the family courts that the parents of the children have been neglectful and harmful in their treatment of the children they can be granted permanent custody. So, if a grandparent has been the full time babysitter and caregiver while the parents have been in and out of the picture, there's a good chance that the grandparents can become the legal guardians. And, a grandparent can help their child get fair visitation and thus ensure that they will still be involved in the grandchildren's lives.
