Grandparents & Contact
The role of grandparents as part of the extended family is often overlooked in matrimonial proceedings. In today’s financially charged and time pressurised environment, grandparents often provide valuable support to families.
Grandparents can apply to the Court for permission to make an application for a contact order concerning their grandchildren, but that is often a long, complex and expensive process.
Mediation provides a springboard to addressing communication issues between parents and grandparents. Often when parents separate, grandparents feel pressed to take sides. Their valuable role can sometimes be eroded and their relationships with grandchildren suffer as a result of parental separation.
Mediation can provide a positive opportunity to address these difficulties and to get the relationship back on track for the benefit of the children. Speak to us for information and guidance on how this can be best achieved.
