Helping Grandparents Gain Child Custody in DCF Cases
In Connecticut, grandparents are offered little say regarding visitation during divorce proceedings. However, if your grandchild is being abused or neglected by a parent, or if the parents are under investigation by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) for child abuse, you have extensive legal options. In fact, you may even petition to become guardians or caretakers of your grandchildren.
At Zaslow & Sandler, LLC, located in West Hartford, Connecticut, we strongly believe that caring grandparents are often the best guardians for children who are victimized by child abuse or neglect. Our primary objective is to assist grandparents in petitioning for caretaker status, and to help ensure children are kept out of foster care and placed in a loving environment during this emotionally turbulent time.
We have more than 25 years of combined legal experience representing grandmothers and grandfathers throughout Connecticut in DCF cases. For additional information about our qualifications and the benefits of retaining our services, please visit our Firm Overview.
