Syracuse Grandparents' Rights Attorney

Divorce affects every member of the family, even extended members such as grandparents. New York has recognized the impact divorce has on grandparents and is one of the only states where grandparents have a legal right to enjoy time with their grandchildren.

At the Darwish Law Offices, P.C., located in Syracuse, New York, we help grandparents protect this right in order to preserve vital bonds with their grandchildren. While there are limitations on grandparents' rights, we can help you understand your options and how to assert your rights properly.

Compassionate and Assertive Family Law Counsel

Diane E. Darwish is an experienced Syracuse grandparents' rights lawyer who can help you petition for visitation if parents are not allowing you access to your grandchildren. Especially in cases where a divorce is acrimonious, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side who can try to negotiate with the parties and who can represent you effectively in family court.

We know that divorce only reinforces the need for a strong support system and often having the presence of grandparents is in the best interest of the child. We will show the court why your relationship with the children is important, and visitation legally will help ensure a continuous, loving and stable bond.

It is important to understand that the court will not formalize a relationship between grandparents and children that did not previously exist. The court will not create opportunity that you did not utilize before. If parents challenge the petition, we can help prove the existence of a relationship, if one exists, and its beneficial impact using psychologists, psychiatrists and other types of mental health professionals.
