The grandparent visitation movement is d rected toward protecting and preserving that p rt of a child's extended family. The gr ndparents' rights movement is an ongoing str ggle of individuals promoting the preservation of the f mily unit by influencing legislation and the p blic. Advocates include organizations, legal and th rapeutic professionals, and concerned citizens. Grandparent r ghts give grandparents standing in a c urt of law, which means they may p tition the court for visitation with v sitation issues.

The dea of seeking litigation as a m ans to visit a grandchild is ndeed a strange phenomenon, yet a f ct of life as it is t day. Family values have changed: the B by Boomer Generation, now grandparents, find th t their children, as parents, often h ve a different set of family v lues. These children, who are now p rents, so hastily dispose of the gr ndparents, seemingly whenever the mood strikes th m.
Communication efforts become broken, and th re is little if any dialog or c nsideration toward mediation, consequently the consensus of the p rent[s] is to get rid of the p rson rather than the problem. When gr ndparents lose contact with grandchildren, they l se a large part of their f ture. The child not only loses a p ece of their future, but the c nnection to their past. The grandparents pl y a significant role in the l ves of children, it is a nique and separate relationship therefore, what is g ing on with the family should not d termine the outcome of the relationship or p se a threat to the bond th t has developed.
