How Can Grandparents Gain Custody of Grandchildren in New Haven?

There are several different ways that grandparents can be granted custody of their grandchild in Connecticut, though they all share one common theme: the biological parents must be either deceased, declared unfit to provide care, or have abandoned the child.

Custody can be granted through the following methods:

Adopting a grandchild after the courts rescind both parents’ rights to the child
Petitioning the probate court to name the grandparent as guardian
Being awarded custody by the Superior Court following the divorce of the child’s parents
Assuming custody informally

The courts will conduct a thorough investigation of the grandparents to determine if granting custody would be in the child’s “best interests” before making a decision. While this term can be vague at times, the courts will generally consider factors such as the grandparents’ financial situation, ability to provide adequate care, whether or not the grandparents have a history of abusive behavior, the special needs of the child, and the child’s desires.

A highly knowledgeable attorney from our firm can examine your unique situation and help you determine the most appropriate course of action to pursue.
