Ways Grandparents Can Obtain Custody in Texas

If you are seeking custody of your grandchild there are some legal options you can pursue. One of the simplest ways to approach this is to have the parents of the child grant you power of attorney. You can also petition the court to have custody granted to you. It is also possible to have the parents agree that you should have access to the children or that the child should live with you.

Common Reasons for Grandparent’s to Pursue Custody

The courts can grant you visitation or custody as a grandparent if the parents are:

In jail
Deceased
Not mentally competent
Abusing the children
Abandoning the children
Terminating parental rights
