Divorce is considered to be the most crucial factor in the relationship between grandchildren and their grandparent. Obviously, grandparents have close relationships their grandchildren, oftentimes taking parental roles if necessary. In some cases, children of feuding spouses will spend a bit longer with their grandparents when the parents work in their offices. In other cases, grandparents can be the main parents for kids who need more care and attention than they might be getting throughout the divorce or dissolution of a marital relationship.

Grandfathers and also grandmothers will lose a familial relationship with their grandkids when they are not given the same allowances they really enjoyed during the marital relationships.
