re: OT Lawyers - Grandparents Rights in Louisiana

Here’s a scenario for you. A daughter in law during dating over a couple years that was great. Friendly, swapped dinner on Fridays or Saturdays, then have a baby and out of nowhere cuts you out of there life. Doesn’t like you talking to your own child and wants you to have nothing to do with your grandchildren. It’s that clean cut and happened just like that. I’ll stop here before I lose it.

And that’s a valid situation - but it’s not what I’m talking about. I know what I know about “grandparents rights” because I’ve researched family visitation rights regarding access to nieces and nephews. I was raised by my grandparents, so I get it. But again, this is someone being kept from a child because they are unsuitable. Truly unsuitable.

In that regard, you can keep actual parents from seeing the child if they are unsuitable, much less a grandparent. Wouldn’t worry about that in the least unless they are are loaded and connected and can get what they want.

See Troxel v. Granville, SCOTUS case that handled grandparent visitation. They ruled a statute that allowed grandparents to petition to visit children against the wishes of the parents was a violation of substantive due process rights of the parents.

Is “grandparents rights” even a thing? I would assume not, but I’m not an attorney.

These psychotic, toxic grandmothers get rights to spend time with their grandkids in some states.
EDIT - Its just a visitation thing and rarely do the win anything

The system is stacked in favor of women anyway

Read this case. Go to the law library and look up Louisiana cases on the subject

In Louisiana if the grandparents has a relationship with the grandchild, is considered to be positive influence in the child's life, has the means to take care of the child (there's also other terms). Then they can obtain court ordered visitation.

Only if the court finds...…..
finding the requisite extraordinary circumstances required by
La C C art l36B existed 3
La C C art l36B states in pertinent part
Under extraordinary circumstances a relative by blood or
affinity or a former stepparent or stepgrandparent not granted
custody of the child may be granted reasonable visitation rights if the
court finds that it is in the best interest of the child.
So unless one parent is dead or a parent is incarcerated, it probably won't happen.

Definitely need an attorney.
I actually know an attorney who hired a family law attorney to do exactly this and he won it for them (which is extremely difficult to do).

The law here is obscure and complicated. Get an attorney.
Posted on 11/15/19 at 9:45 am to saralsim
They need to get an attorney. Grandparents, in certain situations, can take custody of the children. Albeit, it may be temporary, they can take kids from the parents.
It's done more often than you think. However, given the zero facts you provided, it's impossible to tell if your friends would be successful.
