In many child custody cases, the biological parents do more harm than good in raising their children. Their parenting skills go against the best interests of their children. Third party custody matters, while rife with emotion, require immediate action to protect children.
At the law office of Mark D. Hodgson, our founder moves quickly to provide protection from children victimized by abuse or dealing with a drug-addicted parent. That protection often comes in the form of a third party custody arrangement involving grandparents or other close family members.
Attorney Mark D. Hodgson is proactive in securing a grandparent custody arrangement and providing stability to children. Contact us at 509-315-3457 or toll free at 888-576-5258.
Focused on Washington Grandparent's Rights and Children's Best Interests
Dropping off the kids with grandma and grandpa does not make a formal third party custody arrangement. Even parents that acknowledge their shortcomings and personal issues still have the right to return and take their children back home. You need a formal third party custody arrangement filed in court.
Following the legal process has benefits in addition to securing the safety of the children in your life. A third party custody order also requires the biological parents to pay grandparents child support. The parents may absolve themselves of raising the children, but financial obligations still exist.
