Access To Grandchildren

What does the law say allowing visiting rights to grandchildren.

Found this on the net. Quite a lot of info available which may, of course, only apply in England.


Grandparents only have the right to ask for visitation. They do not have a guaranteed right to visit and see their grandchildren. If you currently have a visitation court order, you have the right to have that order enforced.

Google it, that's your best bet, lots of experts on here that think. :)

Grandparents have no visitation rights

If the parent “ mother “ doesn’t want you to see the grandchildren due to a not very amicable separation from her partner. You turn up uninvited. Are you breaking any laws. Only trespassing as I can see it.

wouldn't advise a doorstep drama... not in front of the children.. can't you find a 3rd party to negotiate through ??

[malagabob]

I’d thought of that Murray thinking of all options.

Bob, please report back if you find anything. My sister is going through this and it’s heartbreaking.

If the problem is not directly with your ex daughter/son in law and yourself, you could always send an email/letter to them, I would avoid direct contact with the children, this could make the problem worse. But doing something rather than nothing has to be good.

I have been in this situation for about 4 years on and off.. I am the daughter in law but I am with my hubby, the relationship in question was to do with mother and son. I would never stop gran parents seeing my kids as I had it as a child and your just hurting your own children really. I don't know your situation so it is hard to help but do not stop christmas and birthday gifts/money that really peed me off lol.. We have managed to sort out our problems. I hope you do in time.
