Emily and Mike come back online to share an enchanting discovery, a custom book service that illustrates art history with your grandchildren, literally, and the Renaissance dad who created it.

Explore Tom Ryan's service, Selfarama, at this link.

(Note--the episode reflects our observations and opinions about the topic service. We paid full price for the service, we received no discount or other compensation, and the subject had no influence over the content of this episode. We just think it's cool!)

Music in this episode is from Blue Dot Sessions:
"Rue Severine," "Flatlands," "Fissure Forming," "Gaena"

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.

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.
