Obtaining visitation with or custody of a grandchild can be a difficult process without parental consent. To petition for custody, you must be able to prove yourself as either a “de facto custodian” or an “interested third party.” And, as in all child custody cases, the court must determine that placing the child in your care would be in the best interests of the child.

At Patton, Hoversten & Berg, P.A., we understand the emotional dilemmas such cases can carry. Attentive to your needs, our experienced family law attorneys will help establish the facts necessary to obtain the results you desire.
