Tennessee Grandparent Custody and Visitation Lawyers
Tennessee law gives significant preference to the wishes of parents, but there are situations in which a grandparent may seek custody of a minor child or a fixed visitation schedule. If you are a grandparent and wish to learn more about your rights, contact attorneys Jeffrey L. Levy and Mary Langford in Nashville, Tennessee.
Seeking Custody or Visitation
Has a parent left your grandchild in your care for an extended period of time? Do you have reason to believe that your grandchild is the victim of abuse or neglect? Do you have concerns that your grandchild's welfare is in jeopardy due to a parent's chemical dependency? Are your children trying to cut you out of your grandchildren's lives?
If these or other factors are present, you may have a basis to pursue custody or visitation rights. If both biological parents are unfit or abusive or have neglected or abandoned a child, you may have a basis to pursue custody. If your grandchild has lived with you or if other factors have created a unique opportunity for bonding and your grandchild's emotional welfare could be damaged absent a court order granting you visitation rights, we may be able to help. We also represent grandparents seeking custody of their grandchildren because a parent has died or has been incarcerated.
