When a couple chooses to get a Virginia divorce, their lives are not the only ones affected. The consequences of a Virginia divorce are far-reaching and have an impact on every member of the family - grandparents included.
Grandparents rights issues are increasingly in the spotlight in Virginia and across the nation. This is due in part to a shift in the way society views seniors, as well as changes in economics and family structure.
These days, grandparents are more than sweet, indulging elders children see only on holidays; they can be everyday family members, and are often on the front lines during times of crisis. When a Virginia divorce brings child custody changes to a family, grandparenst rights can be hard hit.
