September, 2022 www.eapon.ca EAPO Upcoming Webinar Join EAPO on September 8th for our Webinar on “Grandparent Rights”, presented by Andrew Feldstein, Founder of Feldstein Family Law Group. Grandparents can and do play an important role in a child’s life and their development. Unfortunately, the rights of grandparents are often overlooked and ignored when family dynamics change. Despite being intimately involved in their grandchildren's upbringing, the rights to access are often refused or withheld. Advocates say an estimated 75,000 grandparents in Ontario, have limited or no access to their grandchildren, citing reasons such as divorce, marital separations, or fractured relationships with their adult children. There are however remedies to address these difficult situations. In recognition of Grandparent's Day (Sept 11th), EAPO is hosting a webinar on September 8th to raise awareness of the rights of grandparents. Together we will learn about what the laws, both across federal and provincial jurisdictions, that address grandparental rights to access and custody. Our guest speaker will cite options to resolving disputes, from family mediations to the court process route. These sensitive and challenging matters of grandparent rights, whether from a legal or emotional perspective carry significant burdens to those experiencing them. Our guest speaker Andrew Feldstein (Founder of Feldstein Family Law Group) will speak to the many, very real facets of this very important and timely topic and answer general questions that respect the privacy of all participants.
