The Grandparent Dynamic

When parents can't care for their child, courts prefer kinship guardianship over foster care. Guardianships keep kids out of the care while the relative gets the paperwork they need.

My client’s daughter relapsed and Tammy* was raising her 6-year-old grandson but couldn't even take him to the dentist. We petitioned for guardianship and now she handles his healthcare without any fuss.

My background as a Child Advocate gives me insight into what judges need to hear to grant guardianships.

I'm perfect for grandparents who are waiting in the elementary school pickup line looking stressed and exhausted.

Ask them, What is your favorite childhood tradition that you still keep alive today?
