Right for grandparents
Justin Law are a regional, top-tier specialist firm of family law solicitors. Family law is all we do, so whatever your situation it will be familiar to us. Our divorce lawyers can handle a broad range of child law matters, from parental responsibility to a range of enforcement orders.
Justin Law Solicitors are experienced in dealing with complex child-related matters and will offer you practical advice focusing on the interests of the children.
Helping grandparents
Justin Law Solicitors understand the important role that grandparents and the extended family can play in the lives of children and that very often they are the first family members to be alienated as a result of disputes between a child’s parents.
There are many practical and pragmatic steps that can be taken to secure the relationship between children and grandparents during disputes but also for the longer term. We can advise on the legal procedure and remedies available to grandparents in order to re-establish contact with grandchildren and can advise grandparents who may wish to care for a grandchild on a full-time basis.
Grandparents legal rights?
Grandparents do not have a right to see their grandchild in England and Wales and they also do not have automatic parental responsibility. It is not possible for grandparents to gain parental responsibility by applying for a Parental Responsibility Order.
However, although grandparents do not have legal rights to see their grandchildren, parents do have legal rights to choose who their children see, so try to refrain from heated arguments. If agreement cannot be reached there is provision for grandparents to make an application for an order in respect of time they spend with their grandchildren.
Taking legal action
Only people with parental responsibility can apply for a court order. However, grandparents can apply for permission to apply for a Court Order to seek contact with the grandchild. It is very rare that a court would refuse the grandparents permission to make an application. At the hearing, the court will consider:
The grandparents’ relationship with the grandchild
The nature of the application
If contact with the grandparents would be harmful in any way to the child
If continuing the contact with the grandparents would impact negatively on the rest of the family
Taking action too soon could lead to unnecessarily elevated hostilities within the family. However, if there is a significant delay in resolving the issues, this can cause emotional harm to the children. It is a delicate balancing act. Therefore, initial advice from a specialist family law solicitor is recommended.
