PRACTICE AREAS

Grandparent, Stepparent and Third-Party Rights

In Oregon, people who have a special relationship with a child may be entitled to court-ordered visitation with the child or even, under certain circumstances, custody of a child.  This is true whether the individual is biologically related to the child or not.  I have extensive experience in this complex and difficult area of the law.  I will review the facts of your situation and evaluate whether these special rights may apply.  Whether you want visitation or custodial rights, or you want to resist someone else’s claim to those rights with your child, I can provide the legal guidance necessary to navigate this challenging legal situation.
