Aware of Grandparents Rights!
Grandparents in every state in the United States have rights. Natures of Grandparents’ Rights are not constitutional and they do not exist in Common Law. Recognition of these Grandparents’ Rights by State Legislatures is a fresh trend. Most of the acts have been in effect from nearly 35 years.
Grandparents Rights are primarily based on State Laws and so Federal legislation may affect Grandparents’ Rights. In 1980, Congress has passed Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act. According to that each State should give full faith and credit to the custody of child decrees from other states. In 1998, Federal legislation passed legislation that courts in each State recognize and enforce grandparental visitation orders from courts in other States. All States have approved a version of Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), formerly known as Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction act.
UCCJEA is not a Federal Statute but the provisions of this uniform law is adopted in each state are similar.
Though in the best interest of child, Courts grants Grandparents Rights like visitation or custody to grand parents only when they agree for some conditions under their State Statutes. Conditions for a grandparent to attain custody are different from those conditions required for visitation rights.
Familiarity with the conditions of either custody or visitation is important before grandparents file a petition of request from a court of law.
