Grandparent Rights In Arkansas

[froggernancy]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) Arkansas?

I am currently in the process of researching the laws in Arkansas on Grandparent Rights. I do know that our law states that in some situations a judge will grant visitation rights. My question is, we are trying to find the forms to do this. I know we will need the initial petition to start such a case and then after a hearing then the rest can be drafted by an attorney. We can afford very little, but I am knowledgeable of the law and proceedings to do most of this myself. So if anyone knows where I can get a copy of this form without having to pay for it, I would be greatly appreciative.

Are you the grandparents starting a petition? Or the parents answering a summons?

There are no pre-made forms available for a case like that. Each situation is too unique. Winning a gpv case without an attorney is next to impossible.

Before you do anything else, read the USSC Ruling in Troxel vs Granville, and then see if you really think that you should be doing this.

If you file, and lose, you will lose any chance of ever seeing your grandchild(ren) ever again.
