We see children abused, parents separated, and therefore the small children's are under predecessor's care due to some reasons like divorce, parental abandonment, and other family troubles. Youngsters are at a higher risk due disturbed family life and therefore they have nowhere to run too. The only help remaining around are the predecessors who they can at least often a shoulder to lean on for the small children's.
If the other parent dies, and your child remains. This is identical to the situation described above - only the roles are reversed. No matter what your feelings about the parent who has died your daughter- or son-in-law or his/her family, other people still need to be included in their life. Unless you have serious, sustainable doubts about someone's ability or intentions with your grandchildren, help them during this time of grief and allow them to hold on what they do have remaining in the life of the son or daughter they lost.
Both parents have died. Not only have you lost your son or daughter, but you have also lost a son- or daughter-in-law. Here you have double grief compounded with anguish over what will happen with your grandchildren. If there is another set of forerunners involved, make a connection with them to not only offer support to one another, but also discuss with your grandchildren.
The parents are mentally ill which will become a risk to the teenager. If the predecessors have such intimate relationship with youngster in the court can't hinder. Therefore the predecessor has to look after them for a period of not less than 12 months. From the above requirements it can be seen that getting child custody rights is not easy under the present laws. It may be easier when both or either of the parents is deceased or they have abandoned youngster rendering the teen in need of a proper guardian.
If you suspect that the parent or parents of your grandchildren are doing drugs or drinking which could be attributed to the abusive situation. Take note of how they also look, talk and speak when you pick up or drop off your grandchildren. Do not provoke any incidents that could get out of hand. Do not say anything bad about the parents in the presence of your grandchildren.
To overcome the above hurdle, predecessors can seek temporary custody of their grandchildren. The predecessors who are going to raise youngster need to satisfy the court that they are physically and emotionally well fit for supporting youngster. During the tenure of temporary custody the court may order for financial support by the parent. The parents can end the temporary keeping on a petition filed to the court.
And as a predecessors please keep your grandchildren's best interest in mind. If you are not a good predecessor please search custody rights. And always be in good terms with your children and grandchildren. Raising grandchildren is the best thing to do.
