When a Grandparent Is Eligible for obtaining Visitation Rights?

1. Death: One parent of the kid has passed away.
2. Inability: One parent cannot take care of the kid because of mental illness.
3. Absent: One of the parents has been disappeared for at least 3 months.
4. Imprisonment: One of the parents is sentenced to imprisonment or even incarceration throughout the 3 month period prior to the filling of the case.

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. In such situations, the end of a marital relationship can risk the deletion of not only one 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.
