Third-Party Custody Rights
Third-party child custody cases can arise for a number of reasons. In cases in which the child has lost a parent, another relative may pursue custody to ensure the well-being of the child. In other cases, the child may be in a harmful or at-risk situation due to an unfit parent.
In deciding third-party custody cases, courts are guided by the principle of protecting the best interests of the child and the fitness of the biological parent. Our lawyers are well-versed in the factors courts determine when deciding these cases and can help you pursue your third-party custody rights.
We represent grandparents, stepparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, godparents, people in same-sex relationships and other nonparents seeking custody of children.
