Preferred term

grandparents' legal rights  

Definition

  • Grandparents play an influential role in the lives of their grandchildren, but in some cases the grandparent-grandchild relationship is modified during trouble or changes in the family system. In the event of a divorce and based on the will of parents, grandparents may have their contact with grandchildren decreased or even terminated.
