Ensuring a Strong Relationship with Your Grandchildren
Grandparents often play a pivotal role in their grandchildren’s lives, offering love, support, and stability. However, in situations of family breakdown or conflict, grandparents may face challenges in maintaining a relationship with their grandchildren. At Makin Dixon , we are here to help grandparents navigate the legal process and explore their rights to maintain contact and have a meaningful relationship with their grandchildren.
How We Can Help
Our team of family law experts is experienced in helping grandparents understand their legal rights and options. We can assist with:
Seeking Permission to Apply for a Child Arrangements Order: If a parent is refusing to allow contact with their grandchildren, grandparents can apply to the court for permission to seek a Child Arrangements Order, which would outline visitation and contact arrangements.
Child Arrangements Orders: If permission is granted, we can help you apply for a formal Child Arrangements Order to establish regular contact with your grandchildren, ensuring that your relationship is legally protected.
Mediation and Negotiation: Before pursuing court action, we help grandparents explore mediation or negotiation with the parents to reach an amicable agreement on contact arrangements that are in the best interests of the children.
Legal Aid Services: We understand that pursuing legal action can be financially challenging, especially in sensitive family matters. We may be able to assist with legal aid to help cover the costs of securing your legal rights and ensuring that your relationship with your grandchildren is protected.
