Your Rights as a Grandparent in Lewiston

Across the United States, more than 7 million children live in a household with at least one grandparent. Grandparents are a vital part of a child’s upbringing, and at the Law Offices of Thaddeus V. Day, PLLC, we are here to support those rights. In Maine, petitions for visitation, or even custody, by grandparents are allowed under certain situations, including:

• Cases in which the parents of the child are divorced, separated, or their marriage has been officially annulled
• The parent of the child is deceased
• There is a pending action for divorce, annulment, or separation between the parents of the child in question
• The parents of the child have never been married, but there has been official paternity established by the courts
• You have reason to be concerned over the living conditions of your grandchild and their safety while in the custody of their parents
• A third party, such as a foster care parent, has legal custody of the child

Maine currently has a divorce rate of 2.5 cases per 1,000 residents. With these numbers and the number of separations that occur every year, grandparents are validated in their concern about their rights. Thankfully, you do have several legal options, and the team at the Law Offices of Thaddeus V. Day, PLLC, is here to help you explore those options and determine which ones can correctly fit the needs of your situation.
