Children Visitation Law, Joint Custody, and Extended Family Custody

Some Philadelphia child custody litigation cases may extend beyond the child's parents and often will involve grandparents or other extended family members. In some cases, a child has been left temporarily with a relative for shared guardianship. According to child custody law if the non-parent was voluntarily given the child and had custody for more than twelve months, that person stands in the place of the parent(s) in loco parentis. If a later custody dispute should arise, these factors are important to know and present during the custody litigation process. In other cases, grandparents may be seeking visitation privileges. Many children have profound relationships with their grandparents that are thwarted by others who seek to disrupt relationships that are important to the child. Whether you are seeking assistance with shared guardianship, joint custody, child visitation law, the Jensen lawyers help families in all areas of custody disputes. The Philadelphia child custody attorneys of Erik B. Jensen know and excel at serving families in child custody and support matters.
