what we frequently see is grandparents

relatives and other caregivers who have

provided care

for children for an extensive period of

time

or frequently or frequently come to our

office looking at what options are

available

in a pursuit of custody

unfortunately i think we see that more

and more

based upon

opioid academic mental health those

issues being more prevalent

when those became more prevalent we have

seen

a really a rise in individuals

through

both the

juvenile court and family court process

seeking

third party custody

what is important for individuals to

know is the process through juvenile

court in the process through family

court is different i’ve represented

people through both processes but it’s

important to obtain an attorney who

understands both of those processes

because there are advantages and

disadvantages to proceeding in juvenile

court versus family court and you have

to have an attorney that understands the

pros and cons with regard to how you’re

going to proceed
