Des Moines Grandparents’ Rights Attorneys

Protecting Iowa Grandparents & Fighting on Their Behalf

Grandparents with custody rights Grandparents often play a significant role in the lives of their grandchildren. They may provide necessary care for grandchildren when parents are away, act as role models in the areas of the arts, sports, hobbies, or other fields, and develop deep and loving relationships based on family values. Sometimes, these relationships are disrupted or even ended due to divorce, a parent’s death, or family conflict. Regardless of the reason, both grandparent and grandchild may suffer from the loss due to an issue or event they cannot control.

What Legal Rights Are Available to Grandparents in Iowa?

Iowa offers grandparents the right to visitation or child custody in certain situations.

In order to achieve visitation rights, you must petition the court.

Depending on the situation, you must demonstrate the following:

That you and your grandchild have a substantial relationship
That it is in the best interests of the child for you to have visitation rights
That the child’s custodial parent is not fit to decide whether or not you should be allowed to visit the child

In some cases, parents lose their rights to their child(ren) when they are deemed unfit for the responsibility. This may be due to substance abuse, family abuse, neglect, illness, disability, financial insolvency, or other reasons. In these cases, grandparents may petition the courts for legal custody providing sufficient evidence as to the situation.
