Grandparents Rights after Divorce

Grandparents Rights after Divorce

One major casualty after divorce is the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren.  Most grandparents are passionate about their grandchildren and being deprived of any rights to see them is very hurtful and painful to both them and their grandchildren.

But in doing so they harm their children, who often need that extra love and understanding once they have to live without a parent they love.
