GRANDPARENTS, GRANDCHILDREN, CHILD CUSTODY, ACCESS, VISITATION

Advocates Daily dot com has highlighted my contemplation of the grandparent/grandchild access conundrum.    I hope that these articles will provide much needed inspiration for all of us to seriously consider the harm that is done to grandchildren.  It’s not just a simple matter of judges stepping in.  We need a profound change in societal attitudes, a “sea change” or “sea shift” if you will.  These cases need to be resolved by all of us  – and that should ideally be outside of court where at all possible.
