On the other hand, many divorcees are pleased to shut out their overbearing in-laws from their new lives. Regardless of how the ex-spouses feel, when children are involved it is important to recognize the relationship between the child and their grandparents. While you may have technically divorced your in-laws, they will forever be the child’s grandparents. As such, children should never be punished by the parents’ decision to get divorced by the exclusion of their grandparents from their lives.
Family law and divorce lawyers around the West Palm Beach and across Palm Beach County have witnessed the damaging effects that children experience as parents deliberately refuse the grandparents’ involvement in their child’s lives.
