Whether you are being denied custody or visitation by the child’s parents or the state Department of Family and Children Services, Claiborne | Fox | Bradley | Goldman may be able to help.
What is kinship visitation and custody?
In some broken families, the grandparents or other relatives need legal representation to get visitation with children, or the kin may need to seek custody if they believe the child is not receiving adequate care from his or her parents. In other cases, the state may have taken custody of a family’s children without giving proper consideration to placing the children with relatives.
