Advice for Grandparents

Sometimes, the relationship between a grandparent and their beloved grandchild can be badly affected by a family break-up.

If you are struggling to maintain contact with your grandchild we can work with you and guide you through the steps you can take to establish, or re-establish contact.

Similarly, if Social Services are involved, or there are concerns about the ability of your son or daughter to care for your grandchild, we can advise you on the law regarding your rights and the steps you need to take if you wish to take over the care of your grandchild, including adoption and special guardianship.

Our highly skilled and sympathetic family team combines a wealth of experience dealing with court proceedings with a commitment to looking at alternative methods of resolving issues, which is often in the best interests of a child as it saves the stress and confrontation of going through the court.

Our Family team discuss Family Law related matters on their regular podcast ‘Legal Mythbusting – Family Matters‘ – the full playlist can be watched below or viewed directly on YouTube.
