Details

Grandparents have become more and more involved in the lives of their grandchildren, yet their legal position is still vague and uncertain. This useful new updated guide sets out what remedies are available and what action grandparents can take should they become caught up in family breakup or disharmony. The author has represented and advised grandparents in both private and public law proceedings over many years. Topics covered include:

  • Grandparents – the current position;
  • Orders available to grandparents in private and public law proceedings;
  • Permission to file applications for court orders;
  • Acquisition of Parental Responsibility;
  • Contact with grandchildren in the care of the Local Authority
  • Special Guardianship Orders including discharge and variation applications;
  • The cases of Re J (2002), Re A (2015) & Re C (2009) Re M (2021) Re F&G (2021)
  • Practical suggestions on advising grandparents on court applications
