I am not ready to give up on a 17 year marriage, but he doesnt want to be around anyone who will remind him of the kids. Should I accept this and move on or fight for my marriage? Mom-maw daughter 22: granddaughters 5 years of age Dear Mom-maw: Your problem is not unique to you and your husband of 17 years. The issue of grandparent rights has become more important as societal norms have changed and more grandchildren are being raised by their grandparents. Unfortunately, current law in most states does not recognize grandparent rights, even when the children are clearly emotionally bonded to the grandparents, and even when the grandparents are significantly better parents than the biological parents of the children. TOP Your situation clearly demonstrates the old adage that "no good deed ever goes unpunished". It is obvious that you and your husband have done a spectacular job in filling in for your daughter and the father of her children who have been unable to care for the children since their infancy.

Extractions: WASHINGTON (AP) As it nears a decision that could touch every American family, the Supreme Court is assessing grandparents' right to see their grandchildren even when the parents object. After hearing arguments today, the justices must decide whether parents' constitutional right to raise children without government interference trumps a Washington state law that lets grandparents and others gain court-ordered visitation found to be in a child's best interest. The dispute carries the court into "a complex constitutional area in which the liberty interests of parents, children and grandparents often swirl in emotionally charged conflict," said David Hudson, a Nashville, Tenn., lawyer who has studied the Washington case. The nine justices six of them grandparents will take their initial vote in a closed-door meeting Friday. A final decision is expected by late June.

Extractions: That's about the simplest way I know to explain the effect of Monday's Supreme Court ruling invalidating a Washington state law which allowed anyone to ask a judge for visitation rights to a child. In a 6-3 opinion, the Court ruled that a parent's constitutional right to raise his or her child trumps a state law that is designed to challenge those rights, even if the state law might make some sense in some situations.
Extractions: Most states define marriage as a civil contract between a man and a woman to become husband and wife. The traditional way to marry is to get a marriage license from a state-authorized official, then participate formal civil or religious wedding ceremony. Back to top I am getting divorced. Do I need an attorney? It ordinarily is a good idea to consult with a lawyer about major life events or changes, such as a divorce. S/he will protect your rights, as well as the rights of your children. S/he keeps current with the laws in your state concerning marriage, divorce, marital property, child custody and visitation, and family support. Back to top What are the legal grounds for obtaining a divorce? The grounds for divorce depend on the state, and may be based on no-fault or fault. A no-fault divorce is available in some form in all 50 states; many states also have fault-based grounds as an additional option. A no-fault divorce is one in which neither the husband nor the wife officially blames the other for the breakdown of the marriage. Common bases for no-fault divorce are "irreconcilable differences," "irretrievable breakdown" or "incompatibility." Another common basis for no-fault divorce is that the parties have lived separately for a certain period of time (varies from state to state) with the intent that the separation be permanent. The list of grounds for a fault-based divorce may include: adultery, physical cruelty, mental cruelty, attempted murder, desertion, habitual drunkenness, use of addictive drugs, insanity, impotency, and infection of one's spouse with venereal disease.

Extractions: Grandparents Rights to Visitation By Maury D. Beaulier, Esq. Grandparents often envision their golden years spent by happily caring for and treating their grandchildren. In recent years, as a symptom of our skyrocketing divorce rates, much litigation has occurred when grandparent's are prevented from seeing their grandchildren. As a direct result, today all states have statutes authorizing a court to award visitation to a grandparent under certain circumstances In Minnesota, a district court has broad discretion to determine what is in the best interests of a child regarding visitation . The authority of the Court to consider grandparents when making visitation decisions with regard to Grandparents is spelled out in Minnesota Statute § 257.022, subd. 2 (1994). This statute specifically allows the district court to consider a request (by petition) for grandparent visitation if t he grandparents are the parents of a deceased parent of the child It states that: If a parent of an unmarried minor child is deceased, the parents and grandparents of the deceased parent may be granted reasonable visitation rights to the unmarried minor child during minority by the district court upon finding that visitation rights would be in the best interests of the child and would not interfere with the parent child relationship. The court shall consider the amount of personal contact between the parents or grandparents of the deceased parent and the child prior to the application. during or after proceedings for dissolution of the child's parents' marriage, child custody, legal separation, annulment, or paternity; or if the grandchild has resided with the grandparents or great-grandparents for a period of twelve months or more and is subsequently removed by the child's parents. Visitation must be found to be in the best interest of the child. M.S.A. §257.022.
