The term parental rights pertains to a wide variety of legal issues related to the rights of a parent with regard to their child, such as custody agreements, child support, paternity, and legal guardianship. A parental rights lawyer is a qualified professional with specific experience with parental rights issues and the law. If a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian has any questions or concerns regarding their parental rights, a parental rights lawyer should be contacted. The complexity and sensitivity of the laws as they relate to children and parental rights make having the legal counsel of an experienced professional especially important. An attorney may be able to help a parent modify an existing custody arrangement or create a new one, gain child support payments, or even revoke custody in the event of abuse or neglect.
