Giving Your Grandchildren A Better Home
Jeffrey A. Klein - Handling Grandparents' Rights In Daytona Beach, Florida
Sometimes, parents are not physically, emotionally or financially able to care for their children. It can be because of drugs, illegal activities, mental illness or trouble with the police. Perhaps even more unfortunately, sometimes parents just do not want the responsibility that comes with raising a child.
But if a grandparent or other relative is willing to take over the role of the parent, the child can consider his or her self very fortunate indeed.

I am Jeffrey A. Klein, an attorney who practices family law almost exclusively. Unlike many Daytona Beach lawyers, I am not a generalist. Family law is almost all I do. This focus has given me a deep, comprehensive understanding of Florida's family law statutes - including those pertaining to grandparents' rights.
According to Florida law, taking temporary custody of your grandchild allows you to:
- Consent to medical and dental care for the child
- Access the child's medical records
- Enroll the child in school (and sign permission slips)
- Make legal, educational and religious decisions for the child
- Do all other things necessary for the care of the child
How To Attain Legal Custody Of Your Grandchildren
To get legal custody or your grandchildren, you will need to petition the local family court. This process can be confusing, even if the parents give their consent to let you have custody.
If you would like to learn more about how a grandparent or other relative can take custody of an endangered child, I can fill you in. Call my office today for a free initial consultation at 1-866-819-6032 - or just contact me online.
