Grandparents Rights
Helping to strengthen connections between generations.
The role of a grandparent is of great importance in a child’s life. Sometimes, life may throw challenges which leave you unable to see your grandchildren. Our trusted and specialist family solicitors can help you.
If you experience a difficult time with your child, or if your child’s marriage ends, you may find yourself in a situation where you cannot see your grandchildren. We understand how difficult and isolating this experience may be.
Our experienced and empathetic family team will advise you, exploring all the options from informal agreements and mediation to Court Applications, helping you to the outcome you desire.
