Tennessee Grandparents’ Rights Attorney

At Phillips Law, PLLC we believe that a grandparent’s love is very important to a grandchild. The relationship and bond between a grandchild and grandparent is often unmatched by any other relationship. When life changing events such as divorce or re-marriage threaten to break the bond or diminish its importance, an experienced Tennessee grandparents’ rights attorney at Phillips Law, PLLC can step in and aggressively fight on a grandparents behalf.

Protecting Your Rights as a Grand Parent

At Phillips Law, PLLC we have successfully handled many grandparents’ rights cases. In the state of Tennessee, a grandparent has the legal right to seek visitation of a grandchild if it is determined that it is in the child’s best interest.  However, if an adoption takes place, the grandparent’s legal rights may be terminated, unless the adoption involves a relative or step parent.

Also, in many instances, a grandparent can also seek to adopt a grandchild to obtain custody if it is in the best interest of the child to live with neither biological parent if abuse or neglect is present. However, grandparent adoption can be very complex, as it will most likely still require the permission and/or request of one or both parents, unless the courts terminated parental rights.
