Grandparents’ Rights Solicitors In The South West

When family relationships break down, it is not only parents and children who are affected. Grandparents often play a vital role in a child’s life, providing love, stability and support. Sadly, when communication breaks down within a family, grandparents may find themselves cut off from their grandchildren, which can be deeply distressing for everyone involved.

Our family lawyers understand the importance of the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. While grandparents do not have an automatic right to contact, the court recognises the valuable role they play, and applications can be made for permission to spend time with grandchildren.

We will always encourage families to resolve these issues outside of court where possible, through mediation or constructive negotiation, to preserve relationships and avoid unnecessary conflict. However, where this is not possible, we can guide grandparents through the process of applying to the court for a Child Arrangements Order, ensuring the focus remains on the welfare of the children.

Our experienced and sensitive family lawyers will support you every step of the way, working towards the best outcome for you and your grandchildren, always putting the children’s needs first.
