Supporting Grandparents in Family Disputes
Family disputes can be especially challenging for grandparents, particularly when the situation affects their relationship with their grandchildren. These difficulties can be distressing, especially if the conflict negatively impacts the children’s well-being or disrupts contact between grandparents and grandchildren.
If you are facing such challenges, there are options available to help resolve the situation and protect your relationship with your grandchildren. For instance, you may wish to secure regular contact arrangements or formalise an existing living arrangement if your grandchild is residing with you.
In specific circumstances, grandparents can apply to the court regarding their grandchildren. Examples include:
- When the child has been living with the grandparent for a specified period.
- If the grandparent has the consent of those with parental responsibility.
- Where the local authority supports the application.
Such applications can address issues such as obtaining parental responsibility, formalising living arrangements, or securing a legally binding contact agreement.
Our team is experienced in guiding grandparents through this process with empathy and expertise. We understand the sensitive nature of these matters and are committed to helping you find a resolution that prioritises the best interests of the children and safeguards your relationship with them.
