Tomball Grandparents Rights Lawyer
Grandparents often have a close relationship with their grandchildren, and they may want to continue that relationship even after the grandchildren’s parents divorce or separate. However, grandparents do not have automatic rights to visitation with their grandchildren in Texas. If you are a grandparent who is concerned about losing contact with your grandchildren, it is important to understand your grandparents rights in Texas.
There are a number of benefits to having grandparents’ rights in Texas. For example, grandparents can:
- Maintain a close relationship with their grandchildren
- Provide emotional and financial support to their grandchildren
- Help their grandchildren through difficult times
- Teach their grandchildren important values and traditions
If you are a grandparent who is facing a child custody or visitation dispute, please contact Bolton Law today on (936) 297-4668 for a consultation. We can help you understand your legal rights and options, and fight for the visitation rights you deserve.

She helped me at two extremely difficult times in my life- the death of my husband and then my mother- to sort through probating their wills. I highly recommend her to anyone.- Patti H.

Ruby Bolton and the Bolton law firm really showed up for the case my wife had against her ex-husband. From her first visit at consultation to picking up the final draft, she felt like she was in good hands. At the end of all this, my wife was able to get some relief and was able to put her ex in check. We got the passport docs, got it to make it mandatory to take the kids to all their sporting events on his weekend, and his child support was reinstated.- David V.

Rob was very good to answer all my questions and worked hard to keep my case moving even when opposing counsel was slow to respond. While my case was expensive, it was not outside of what I expected to pay. Thank you for the great work.- Jen M.

I still have another day of trial, but I have already seen Shaunte fight and stand her ground. I wish I would have found her sooner, she has so many strengths and she is the attorney you want on your case even when things seem hopeless, she finds a way to fight. She is not intimidated at all, she is very respectful and caring and in court she knows how to keep fighting for what is right !!! Thank you so much Shaunte. I will forever be grateful for your help.- Lali M.
