Grandparents Rights

Grandparents Rights

Supporting grandparents to stay connected with the children they love.

Grandparents often play an invaluable role in a child’s life, providing love, stability and support. Sadly, following a family breakdown, grandparents can sometimes find themselves unexpectedly cut off from their grandchildren.

We understand just how heartbreaking this can be.

Care and compassion when you most need it…

While grandparents do not have an automatic legal right to spend time with their grandchildren, there are legal options available, and many disputes can be resolved without the need for lengthy court proceedings.

At Thomas Boyd Whyte Solicitors, we take the time to understand your family’s unique circumstances. We will explain your options clearly, help you explore opportunities for agreement, and, where necessary, guide you through the court process with care and compassion.

We can advise on:

Grandparents applying to see their grandchildren
Child Arrangements Orders
Mediation and negotiated agreements
Applications for permission to apply to court
Situations involving safeguarding concerns
Special Guardianship Orders
Kinship care arrangements

We know these situations are often emotionally charged, but our goal is always to help preserve important family relationships wherever possible and achieve an outcome that is in the child’s best interests.

If you’ve lost contact with your grandchildren, we’re here to help. Speak with our Family Law team today to discuss your options in confidence.
