Grandparent Access
What sometimes happens in a divorce is the custodial parent is so mad at the ex that what happens is that that parent cuts off communication with the ex’s family. While grandparents have no party in a divorce, they have no say and the judge doesn't really take into consideration the extended family when he or she makes a child custody or visitation order. When two people divorce it can be messy and ugly and there is usually a lot of hostility and anger there but one thing that you do not want to do is cut the kids off from the family they have come to know and love. This includes grandparents, whether it is your ex in laws or your own parents. Children need and deserve as much family in their lives as you can provide.
In some cases when divorces are granted, it does not include grandparent’s visitation unless someone specifically requests it. Put aside your anger for your ex and put in a grandparent access schedule. This will provide a chance for the kids to still see their grandparents as well as some other family members. Chances are your exes parents did not because your divorce and chances are they were good to your kids while you were married, so why not allow that relationship to continue.
You can set any ground rules that you want and Dallas Divorce Firm can help you create a fair agreement of a schedule that everyone can be happy with. While in some states there are laws that provide grandparents rights to see the kids, why add on another component to your already emotional divorce. If you want to fight over cars and houses and money then that is your right but as a parent it is your child's right to see family and not be taken away from those who love them because you are divorcing their mom or dad. Think hard and put your child's needs before your own.
