Pennsylvania is a state which protects your custody rights as grandparents (or great-grandparents). If your grandchildren are living with you, if you have helped to raise them, if they are being withheld from you, or if you are just worried about their safety, this may be the time for you take action. Once you have legal or physical custody of your grandchildren, you no longer have to worry about them and you can be with them in such a way that you can positively influence and guide their lives. At WE CARE LEGAL SERVICES, 1855-LAW-FAMILY, we have over a quarter of a century of experience in legally supporting the grandparent -grandchild bond in Bucks County.
If you have grandparents’ custody rights at any level, your precious time with you grand kids is protected by Court-Order. They can’t be legally withheld from you if their parents are angry at you for any reason. If you are raising you grand kids in your home, their parents cannot threaten to take them away from. If your grand kids are being raised in an unhealthy environment, the law actually can help you rescue them.
Unfortunately, grandparents’ custody rights are more important than ever with the current drug epidemic sweeping through Bucks County. If your adult child is addicted to any of the street drugs infecting our community, your grandchildren are the innocent victims. An honest evaluation of your situation will tell you if you need to legally intervene. Are your grandchildren neglected, exposed to the wrong characters, dependent on you for financial care, shelter, stability, and care? Are your grandchildren “dumped” at your home on a regular basis because their parents have to “go out?” Or, at worst, has your child passed out I front of your grandchildren, slept for days at a time, or lost total control of their temper, exposing your grandchildren to needless violence and trauma?
Or, as is often the case, have your grandchildren been left in your care for months or years at a time, while their parents have disappeared or had infrequent contact. Now your grandchildren are happily adjusted and stable in your care, but a parent has “magically” reappeared and threatens to suddenly “become a mother” or “stand up and be a father” and removes your grandchildren from your care (and the only stable life your grandchildren have ever known).
At WE CARE LEGAL, 1-855-LAW-FAMILY, we can confidentially meet with you immediately in one of our Bucks County Offices, to discuss your grandchildren’s welfare and explain your grandparents’ legal rights. We can file with the court within 24 hours to request emergency protection for your grand kids. Most importantly, we can give you, as grandparents, the advice, support and resources you need to successfully negotiate this stressful period in anticipation of a positive custodial outcome.
