Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Depends on who has requested the restraining order and whether the restraining order has anything to do with the children. Generally speaking parents who have custody of their children have the ultimate say in whether others can tend to their children. Grandparents rights generally involve situations where one of the parents is an absentee parent and the grandparents are the parent of the absentee parent. If parents have custody and do not want the children's grandparents involved in visiting with them, the court is going to defer to the parent's decisions.

I would need to know more about the bases for the restraining Order. Arizona DOES allow for Grandparent's Access. We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options for such. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
