FAQ

Grandparents may wish to maintain a relationship with their grandchildren despite the wishes of the parents or legal guardians. The state law allows grandparents to seek visitation or custody of their grandchildren. However, they must first establish that the relationship is in the child's best interest.

Grandparents can acquire parental responsibility for their grandchildren if a Child Arrangement Order is made in their favour. If you want to know more about the possibility of obtaining these orders talk to our specialist lawyers.

If you plan to take over the care of your grandchild for more than a brief period of time, or more importantly, if you wish to have legal authority over your grandchild, you will need to become your grandchild's legal guardian.

The rights of grandparents vary from state to state, but in general, grandparents have the right to seek court-ordered visitation or custody if they have a significant relationship with their grandchildren and if it is in the best interests of the children.

This means assuming the right and responsibility to care for the child and make decisions on the child's behalf. Grandparents can generally petition for custody only if: The parent(s) are unfit. The parent(s) have passed away. The parent(s) agree the grandparents should take custody.
