INTERVENTION- GRANDPARENT CUSTODY

Service Subtitle

This can be filed as a motion to establish custody or the grandparent can intervene into an already established custody proceeding. Sometimes a grandparent will file an ex parte when neither parent is the appropriate custodian for the child.

Justice for You

Every family is different. We recognize that at the Claire Edwards Law Firm. Sometimes there is a non-parent or grandparent who needs to be the custodian of the child.  We discuss options for this type of situation and any other situations that may arise.
