South Dakota Grandparent's Rights Attorneys

Helping Grandparents Assert Their Rights 

Thousands of grandparents throughout South Dakota are affected by divorces, separations, break-ups, and relocations every year. When a marriage or relationship ends, or a family moves far away, it is often the grandparents who suffer, as they may no longer be able to see or spend time with their grandchildren.

At the McCann, Ribstein & McCarty Law Firm, we know how important it is to maintain a strong relationship with your grandchildren. Not only does having a loving relationship with your grandchildren enhance your life, but it is also very important for your grandchildren. Whether your objective is to gain custody of your grandchildren, or simply obtain visitation rights, you can trust a dedicated South Dakota grandparents' rights lawyer at McCann, Ribstein & McCarty to help you achieve your goals.

What the Law Says About Grandparental Rights 

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for grandparents to obtain custody of or visitation rights with their grandchildren. There are many ways in which a skilled attorney at McCann, Ribstein & McCarty can help you obtain a court order that grants you the right to see your grandchildren. We have extensive experience in this area of South Dakota family law and have helped many grandparents obtain visitation rights. In general, the courts will grant some type of access to your grandchildren as long as it serves their best interest. If one or both of your grandchild's parents have died, we can help you seek permanent custody, guardianship, or even adoption.
