A Great New Resource Is Here!

Oregon's Legal Guide for Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children is now available in hard copy from AARP Oregon or on line here in PDF format. This guide covers a range of problems faced by grandparents and other relatives and the laws that apply in those situations. It starts with simple issues faced by relatives who are regularly in contact with their grandchildren, moves on to the problem of getting access to grandchildren when a parent does not encourage or support contact, and then looks at situations where grandparents must take over - temporarily or permanently - the job of parenting their grandchildren.
