Can A Legal Guardian Of A Child Deny Access?

Teenage child lives with grandparents and his uncle. Still sees his dad when he wants and everyone gets on. There’s been a big argument in the family and uncle (very opinionated and likes to think what he says goes) has said the father isn’t allowed to see his son anymore. Is he actually able to enforce this if son still wants to see his dad? I believe they’re all joint legal guardians (grandparents and uncle).

Probably under a SPO (Special Guardianship Order). An SPO will not remove Parental Responsibility from the child’s birth parent(s) so I doubt they can block access.

Thank you. Had a feeling he might just be spouting off!

Zacs is correct. But ,how old is the child? Once a child reaches 16 they can decide for themself where they want to live and who they wish to see or not see. They are an adult as far as the law goes.
