Helping Grandparents Explore Their Legal Options
In many families, grandparents play a pivotal role in raising their grandchildren. Although grandparents' rights are not necessarily covered by statute in Florida, there are legal options available that enable the grandchild/grandparent relationship.
At Michelle A. Barry, P.A., we help grandparents throughout the Orlando and Seminole County area in legal matters that affect their relationships with their grandchildren. To find out more about your legal options as a grandparent, contact our law office to schedule a consultation.
Temporary Custody By a Grandparent
A grandparent in Florida can seek temporary custody of a grandchild in certain circumstances. If a parent is unable to provide care for a child, or if the health or safety of a child is at risk by living with his or her parent, a grandparent may seek temporary custody.
Legal Services for Changing Families
As times change, families change. It is common today for grandparents to raise their grandchildren, for multiple generations to live in one household, and for children to be raised by one parent. At the law office of Michelle A. Barry, P.A., we offer legal services to assist families of all shapes and sizes in a variety of legal matters:
If you are a grandparent who is seeking temporary custody, or if you are a parent looking to answers to questions about child custody disputes and visitation, contact a lawyer. We are available during regular business hours and by appointment. We accept all major credit cards.
