Arlington Heights Grandparents’ Rights Attorney

Barrington Family Law Lawyer Fighting for Grandparents' Rights

The bond between a grandparent and a grandchild is a special one, spanning generations. When parents divorce or separate, courts make decisions about parenting time and custody. However, grandparents' rights are often overlooked during this process, leaving them out of the equation and upsetting this special relationship.

At the Law Offices of Donald J. Cosley in Arlington Heights, Illinois, our grandparents' rights attorneys provide zealous advocacy on behalf of grandparents asserting their visitation rights with grandchildren and on behalf of grandchildren seeking to have their special bond nourished through a continued relationship with a grandparent.

Experienced Family Law Attorney

The first step in any custody case is to establish whether a grandparent has the right to bring a legal action for custody. There are certain legal criteria that must be met in order for grandparents to pursue legal and primary physical custody. One criterion is a willingness to assume responsibility for the child.

If there is standing to bring a custody case, then you must still prove that a change in custody is in the best interest of the child. Grandparents need an experienced custody attorney to fight for custody rights.
