Long Island Grandparent's Rights Attorneys

Helping Grandparents Assert Their Rights 

Thousands of grandparents throughout Long Island are affected by divorces, separations, break-ups, and relocations every year.   When a marriage or relationship ends, or parents move their family far away, it's often the grandparents who suffer, as they may no longer be able to see or spend time with their grandchildren.  This especially holds true if a grandparent's relationship to the mother or father has become contentious, or if one of the parents wants to sever ties with the grandparents. 

At Samuelson Hause & Samuelson, we know how important it is to maintain a strong relationship with your grandchildren.  Not only does having a loving relationship with your grandchildren enhance your life, but it is also very good for your grandchildren as well.  Whether your objective is to gain custody of your grandchildren, or simply visitation rights, you can trust a dedicated Long Island grandparents' rights lawyer at Samuelson Hause & Samuelson to help you achieve your goals.

What the Law Says About Grandparental Rights 

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for grandparents to obtain custody or visitation rights to their grandchildren.  That being said, as a grandparent wishing to be a positive figure in your grandchild's life, you do have some options. There are many ways in which a skilled attorney at Samuelson Hause & Samuelson can help you obtain a court order that grants you the right to see your grandchildren.  We have extensive experience in this area of New York family law, and have helped many grandparents throughout Long Island fight for custody or visitation rights.  If one or both of your grandchild's parents have died, we can help you seek permanent custody, guardianship, or even adoption.  We have also represented grandparents seeking custody or guardianship because one or both parents were unfit to care for the child. 

Generally, the courts will grant some type of access to your grandchildren as long as it serves their best interest.  To learn more about your rights under New York family law, please don't hesitate to contact a Long Island grandparents' rights attorney at Samuelson Hause & Samuelson today!  Helping you preserve and protect your relationship with your grandchildren is our number one priority!
