Redmond/Bellevue Grandparents' Rights Attorneys

Grandparents will usually do whatever it takes to ensure their grandchild or grandchildren are safe, healthy and happy. If you are a grandmother or grandfather who is concerned about the safety and welfare of your grandchildren, our law firm may be able to help you.

As Bellevue grandparents' rights lawyers, we may be able to help grandparents obtain custody of their grandchildren. Third party custody is a highly complex area of Washington law, and the law is not skewed in favor of grandparents. However, in certain situations and with help from our Redmond/Bellevue third party custody attorneys, you may be able to prove that obtaining custody of your grandchild or grandchildren is in their best interests.

When Can a Grandparent or Third Party Seek Custody of a Child?

Washington laws are very strict regarding grandparents' rights. Essentially, grandparents do not have visitation rights. However, if the child or children are in a detrimental situation, grandparents can step in to obtain temporary custody or permanent custody.

Our skilled Eastside attorneys have been helping grandparents since 1986. We understand the uphill battle grandparents face and the methods that are available to prove that it would be best to remove their grandchildren from dangerous environments.

If you are a grandparent, and if your grandchild is living in a home environment where drugs, alcohol abuse, child abuse, neglect and/or prostitution are present or where the parent is unfit, it may be possible to obtain custody of your grandchild. Our law firm can effectively advocate for your rights and the best interests of your grandchildren.

We can talk to you about your options and let you know if we think you have a strong potential to be successful in obtaining temporary or permanent custody.
