  1. WHEN DO COURTS GRANT CUSTODY TO GRANDPARENTS IN CALIFORNIA?

  2. Child custody laws vary by state. It is typical for courts to prefer granting custody of the child to one or both parents. However, if both parents are unable or unwilling to care for their child, custody of the child may be given to a third party.

  3. Common circumstances in which the court grants custody to grandparents or other third parties include: • Both parents are deemed unfit. • Both parents agree to grant custody to the grandparents. • Documented abuse or neglect in the parents’ home. • Drug or alcohol abuse in the child’s home. • A parent’s mental illness. • One parent is unfit, and the other can’t or won’t take the child.

  4. It is important to note that even in these compelling circumstances the court may still not grant custody to the grandparents if other family members are also seeking custodial rights of the child.

  5. If you are involved in a child custody dispute, consult with one of the experienced child custody lawyers in Fresno California to help you learn your legal rights and options, ensuring the best possible outcome for your case.
