Grandparent’s Rights Experts In Leeds

By law, grandparents don’t have automatic rights to have contact with their grandchildren. This means that in most cases parents can choose to refuse their children contact with grandparents.

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that grandparents have no other options. The reason that most grandparents are not allowed access to their grandchild is usually due to a breakdown in the relationship between the child-parent and the grandparents. Therefore the first course of action should be to try and repair the relationship if possible.

In circumstances where this is difficult or not possible, a professional social worker or family mediator may be able to help you come to an agreement/resolution. Resolving problems between the adults (the child/’s parents and the grandparents) is normally the only solution.

Are there any exceptions?

Exceptions are rare and usually involve a circumstance in which the parents of the children are putting them at risk. For example, if, abuse, addiction, or neglect is a factor.

In these situations, access might be refused by the parents of the child/children as the grandparents are attempting to intervene due to concern for their grandchild’s welfare. In situations like this, seeking professional legal advice is vital.
