Long Island Child Custody Attorney

Grandparental Rights Lawyer in Long Island 

Child custody battles aren't always between mothers and fathers. The grandparents of a child may seek custody as well. When the mother and/or father are incapable of caring and raising their child, the grandparents may be granted physical and/or legal custody. The courts will honor the role grandparents play in a child's life by awarding them custody when it's in the child's overall best interest.

At Wisselman, Harounian & Associates, we have helped many grandparents gain custody of their grandchildren. A grandparent may seek custody of their grandchildren if the child was subjected to physical, psychological, or emotional abuse or neglect. In addition, grandparents commonly seek child custody when the parents of their grandchildren are incarcerated, underage, or guilty of committing domestic violence or another criminal offense. Your initial consultation with our firm is free, and this will be your opportunity to talk to a Long Island grandparents' rights lawyer about your legal options in regard to custody. Do not wait to contact our offices to discuss your case.
