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.

    “Ruby Bolton goes above and beyond to provide each client with very personal services.”
    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.

    “We wanted to make a point with a good law firm, and Bolton Law did just that.”
    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.
    “I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring legal team.”
    I had an amazing experience working with Ben Sander and Kassandra Ramirez during my divorce process. They made everything clear and smooth from start to finish, always taking the time to explain each step and answer any questions I had. Both were extremely responsive and professional, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate all their help.
    - Gabriella P.
    “Communication was always smooth and professional.”
    I had a wonderful experience working with Sara Saeed. She provided a very thorough and detailed consultation, making sure all of my questions were answered. Having worked with other attorneys in The Woodlands area before, I truly appreciate Sara’s knowledge, expertise, and the care she brings.
    - Polina S.
    “There are not enough words that can express how amazing the team is at Bolton Law Firm.”
    Paige Pritchard made the process seamless and stress free. Her support on my case put me at ease during the entire filing process. I cannot thank her and David Greer enough for their attention to detail and personal attention they have my case.
    - Dianie S.
    “The Bolton Law firm was amazing and supportive throughout my case.”
    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.
    “Shaunte did so much more than other attorneys in such little time.”
    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.
    “The legal team at Bolton Law was very professional and supportive from intake through finalization.”
    Kassandra, my paralegal, kept me updated regularly and was such a great support through the whole process. Attorney Henry and Bolton handled everything with grace and were able to achieve a better outcome than I expected. 100/10 recommend Bolton Law for anything family law related!
    - Sarah

How to Apply for Grandparents Rights

Here’s a general overview of the process involved in applying for grandparents’ rights in Texas:

If you believe that pursuing grandparents’ rights is in the best interests of your grandchild, the first step is to consult with a knowledgeable family law attorney. They will assess your case, gather relevant information, and guide you through the legal proceedings.

  • Consultation
    Meet with a family law attorney to discuss your situation and determine the viability of pursuing grandparents’ rights.
  • Petition
    If deemed appropriate, your attorney will help you file a petition with the court, outlining your request for grandparents’ rights and explaining why it is in the best interests of the child.
  • Evidence and Documentation
    Your attorney will work with you to gather evidence and documentation to support your case. This may include establishing the significant and substantial relationship with your grandchild, demonstrating the potential harm to the child without your involvement, and providing evidence of the parents’ unfitness or termination of their parental rights.
  • Mediation and Negotiation
    In some cases, mediation or negotiation between the parties involved may be attempted to reach a mutually agreeable resolution regarding visitation or custody. Your attorney will represent your interests and help facilitate these discussions.
  • Court Proceedings
    If mediation or negotiation fails, or if the case requires immediate action, it may proceed to court. Your attorney will present your case, argue on your behalf, and advocate for your rights and the best interests of the child.
