Placer Grandparent Visitation Attorney
The breakup of a family can have a devastating impact on more than just the parents and children. In many instances, grandparent-grandchild relationships are just as strong as parent-child relationships. Just because the parents could not get along does not mean you love your grandchildren any less. Unfortunately, in the aftermath of divorce, it is often the grandparent-grandchild relationship that suffers the most.
At the Law Office of Jennifer E. O'Brien, we understand your concerns. We have focused our practice exclusively on family matters since we first opened in 2002. We take a team approach with grandparents, working in partnership with you to identify your needs and concerns. Though we are skilled and experienced in the courtroom, we will always help you maximize your chances of settlement in mediation proceedings.

Our Grandparents' Custody and Support Practice
We work with grandparents at any stage of a divorce or family law matter, whether the divorce has just been filed and you want to pursue custody or visitation, or you seek post-trial requests to modify or enforce judicial orders. We handle all types of issues that affect grandparents.
When you hire us to help you secure rights regarding a grandchild in a divorce proceeding, we will look at the facts and circumstances and apply the "best interests of the child" test. The law does not specifically grant a grandparent rights to custody or visitation, but the best interests of the child may be served by allowing you access to them. Once we understand your unique situation, we will attempt to negotiate directly with the parents, looking to get them to view visitation with you as being in the best interests of the child.
We also have the experience and skill to take your claim to court if you cannot settle on an agreeable solution. If we do so, we may bring in a forensic expert to help us prepare and present the strongest case for you.
