Abstract

In recent years there has been a rapid increase in a new type of American family, one in which grandparents have become the sole custodians of their grandchildren, raising them without any parent present. Government, through its policies, can play a major role in addressing the challenges that custodial grandparents face. This article discusses many of the key policies that impact the lives of custodial grandparents.
