E163: Knowing Our Rights
Sometimes, due to death, illness, or incarceration, your adult child just can't be a parent to your grandchildren. Capable and engaged grandparents can make all the difference, unless someone else blocks that relationship. You can take this to court: many states give explicit rights to grandparents that many of them do not know much about. Family law attorney Yoninah Orenstein talks through a particular case of hers that shines a light on the problem and gives advice on how to solve it. Our guest is from the law firm of Flaster Greenberg. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E162: Preview: Knowing Our Rights
This is a quick preview of the episode we're pulling together for later in May. The topic is grandparents' legal right to have access to their grandchildren. In most states, these rights do exist--you just need to understand them, if in a difficult circumstance you would need to exercise them.

E161: How to Enable Aging in Place
We in the Club Sandwich Generation are caring for our aging parents as well as our kids and grandkids. Many of those aging parents want to "age in place," in homes that aren't properly set up for older folks to live alone. Architect Paul Spite has written about how to navigate these changes, like modifying a home to help our elders age in place, and to soften the pride and resistance that can get in the way. RESOURCES Paul's book is Renovations to Enable Aging in Place. He's also created a YouTube video summarizing his book.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
