Product Description
From Library Journal
Single parenthood and divorce have had a dramatic impact on the numbers of grandparents who need to seek legal advice regarding visiting or raising their grandchildren. The goal of Grandparents' Rights is to look at the laws of each state that control grandparent visitation and custody and to consider certain specific situations that may influence a decision to take legal action. Truly outlines the process for determining whether or not to file a claim for custody or visitation and provides straight talk on what the hurdles are. The appendix of state laws is well done, providing not only citations to statutes but a summary of grounds, the effect of adoption on grandparents, and whether a parental preference rule exists in the state. This book conveys useful information concisely and pays proper attention to important variations among states. Highly recommended for public libraries.

From Booklist
The field of family law has recently put further irons in its fire: the rights of grandparents to visitation or custody of their grandchildren after parental separation, divorce, or death. Family practice attorney Truly offers laypeople guidance to this relatively new area of law. She forthrightly explains maneuvering through court proceedings without getting lost in the fray; how grandparents can determine when and whether intervention is warranted; how to file for visitation or custody; court procedures; and the attorney's role in such proceedings. Because this area of law is so new, the book is rather thin, yet it covers all relevant current laws. Appendixes provide a state-by-state listing of current statutes affecting grandparents' rights and plenty of reproducible forms, so consider this more an addition to the photocopyable reference collection than a long-term circulating item.

This review is from: Grandparents' Rights (Paperback)
I need a book on what if. It helps those on both sides. The information for the most part was great to gather more information off of.

"How To" get visitation in court when barred by mom/dad, Dec 14 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Grandparents' Rights: With Forms (Paperback)
The author presents the basic legal process on obtaining visitation rights via petitioning the circuit court in your state. The steps here are only for those who cannot negotiate reasonable visitation directly with the custodial parent. The book includes brief suggestions on hiring an attorney. The book is fairly dry and basic, with little commentary. An alternative would be to purchase a how-to divorce guide an apply the process to a grandparent motion; you may receive more in-depth information from a "how to" divorce guide on the court process than from this book.
