Extractions: Fax: 802-329-2100 By: Cheryl Morrissey GRANDPARENTS' RIGHTS IN QUESTION New Jersey statutes have long afforded grandparents the right to seek court intervention if the death, divorce, or separation of their grandchildren's parents has meant that the grandparents have little or no access to the children. However, a recent ruling by the United States Supreme Court may impact their ability to actually obtain the visitation they want. IN ALL CASES WHERE ALIMONY IS AWARDED For more than a decade, judges trying contested divorces in New Jersey have been required by statute to make specific findings of fact about a couple's marital lifestyle before deciding alimony issues. Courts have to hear and rule on evidence about, for instance, the types of cars the parties drove, the size of their house, the quality of their furnishings and clothing, and the number of vacations they took.

Extractions: Family Science Specialist You've become a grandparent or stepgrandparent. For many, the relationships formed between grandparents and grandchildren are special. Grandparents often get to enjoy the pleasure of their grandchildren's company without the responsibility of raising or caring for the children full time. And for the grandchildren, their relationships with grandparents may be sources of stable, unconditional love. Divorce, death of a parent or adoption of grandchildren, however, frequently threatens these relationships and leaves grandparents with questions about their rights. When the legislature or the courts make decisions about the rights of grandparents, they seek a balance between two ideals. The first is the value attached to allowing parents to care for their children in the best way they can. The second is the value attached to doing what is in the best interests of the children. The wishes or best interests of grandparents are not among the most important factors considered in making these decisions. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions concerning the rights of grandparents. The answers are based in general on North Dakota law. Specific concerns should be directed to a family law attorney.

Grandparents Rights To Visitation With Children filed suit under Washingtons grandparent visitation law. the trial judge sidedwith the grandparents. a large, central, loving family with opportunities http://ks.essortment.com/grandparentsvis_onv.htm
Extractions: Grandparents rights to visitation with children Many state legislatures have passed laws giving grandparents the right to take legal action to gain visitation with grandchildren. The idea behind such laws is to maintain the channels of communication between the grandparents and the children in the event of a divorce, death or other circumstances that break up families. In 2000, in the landmark case of Troxel v. Granville, the United States Supreme Court placed limits on the grandparent visitation laws. The Troxel ruling stemmed from a case in the state of Washington. A man and woman had two daughters together, but had never married. The man subsequently committed suicide, and the woman eventually married another man and started a new family. The dead mans parents wanted to continue to have contact with their sons children, and approached the mother about setting up visits. The mother agreed, and proposed a visitation schedule. The grandparents and other relatives of the dead man wanted more time with the children than the mother was offering, and filed suit under Washingtons grandparent visitation law. bodyOffer(16827) When the case went to court, the trial judge sided with the grandparents. Citing benefits to the children of a connection to "a large, central, loving family" with "opportunities for the children in the areas of cousins and music," the judge issued a far-reaching visitation order. The mother appealed the ruling to the Washington state appeals court, and that court sided with her.

Extractions: T heirs was an early '70s marriage: founded on a Jamaican boardwalk, fueled by hippie idealism and snuffed out by drug-induced clashes. Dad was a surfer and film-school dropout from Long Island, N.Y. Mom was simply a seeker, a painter from Scarsdale, N.Y., who had long ago rejected that town's materialistic mantra. In Jamaica, they fell in love, and in a generic church that satisfied Dad's Catholic and Mom's Jewish relatives, they married. At that point, they had known each other for less than a year. Neither had a college degree, job prospects or a clear idea of what they stood for, rather than against. I've always believed that their relationship was based on a shared lust for life's rushes everything from drugs, to the sunrise, to sex, to meeting new people. But whatever it was didn't last. I was born less than a year after their wedding, but the marriage dissolved before I turned three.

Extractions: Law Centers Encyclopedia Child Custody and Visitation Learn how a Supreme Court decision affects grandparents' rights to spend time with their grandkids. It's no secret that grandparents, stepparents and other caretakers often form deep and loving attachments with the children in their lives. Yet when death, divorce or estrangement tear apart families, these caretakers may find themselves without any legal right to maintain contact with the children they love. If the children's parents or guardian object to a continuing relationship between a grandparent or other caretaker and the children, everyone involved may face enormous personal and legal trouble. To protect the visitation rights of grandparents, and sometimes other caretakers foster parents, for example all 50 states currently have some type of "grandparent visitation" statute that allows grandparents to ask a court to grant them the legal right to maintain their relationships with loved children. But state laws vary greatly when it comes to the crucial details, such as who can visit and under what circumstances.

Extractions: 01 Jun 2000 By Janet Gilmore, Media Relations Berkeley Four University of California, Berkeley, faculty members are available to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued this morning (Monday, June 5) in the Troxel v. Granville case. The case involves whether grandparents can obtain court-ordered visitations over the objections of a child's parent. The case is an appeal of a Washington state Supreme Court decision. A local judge granted the paternal grandparents visitation rights, overnight stays and a visitation schedule over the objections of the children's mother after the father committed suicide. But the Washington Supreme Court overturned the lower court decision, concluding that it was overbroad and violated the constitutional rights of parents and their children to family privacy and autonomy. Though the Troxel case involves grandparents, it also raises questions about the potential visitation rights of any nonparents or unrelated individuals who may have a special relationship with a child.
