Are You a Grandparent Raising a Grandchild?

Williamson, Friedberg and Jones, Family Law Attorney, Angelique Bailey will be presenting a FREE program called, “Establishing Custody as a Grandparent.” on Wednesday, March 18 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit #29, 17 Maple Avenue, Marlin. 

Are you a grandparent raising your grandchild? You are not alone. When parents are unable to raise their children, grandparents often step in. Raising grandchildren can be an overwhelming challenge. To meet this challenge, grandparent caregivers need to build a support system to assist them in carrying out the many activities involved. Grandparents also need to take good care of themselves, so that they can remain mentally and physically safe enough to do the job.  One way to make the job easier is to communicate with other grandparents.

The Schuylkill County Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Group, was formed to provide resources and support for grandparents.  It is organized by the Schuylkill Office of Senior Services, RSVP of Schuylkill County and the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit #29.

At the next meeting of The Schuylkill County Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Group, join Family Law Attorney, Angelique Bailey, from Williamson, Friedberg, & Jones, LLC, to learn more about your custody rights as a grandparent and the answers to your legal questions.   

On Wednesday, March 18 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.at the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit #29, 17 Maple Avenue, Marlin.  Family Law Attorney Angelique Bailey will be presenting a FREE program called, “Establishing Custody as a Grandparent.”

Attorney Bailey will explain what circumstances can qualify a grandparent to seek custody, the process for filing a custody case in Pennsylvania, a timeline on how these cases are typically litigated, and tactics on how to maximize your legal and physical custody of a grandchild when a parent is otherwise unqualified or unavailable to provide adequate care on their own.   Following the presentation, Attorney Bailey will host an informal question and answer session to answer specific questions.
