Grandparents Rights in Alabama

Grandparents who have a pre-existing relationship with their Grandchild since birth should have visitation rights. When the Grandchild has become self- aware, knows who we are and what we mean to him and is very familiar with their surroundings, they should not be restricted or punished un-necessarily. We believe it is in the best interest of any Grandchild that they be given the opportunity to visit their Grandparents. We believe Grandparents should be given visitation rights that are reasonably accepted by all parties. We believe the absence of a loved one, who has been such a big part of their Grandchild's life, is like experiencing a death, because the loved ones are here one day and gone the next. It happens too quickly already!
