New Application To Courts For Grandparents

I did wonder roseq

I think richard has kindly offered advice on other threads, which may not be applicable in the UK, nina and minimouse

Nina

Yes my point exactly MiniMouse he is giving advice that may not apply, which is why I posed the question.

It was meant as a polite enquiry.

Nina his profile suggests that his expertise is in the USA . . . . .

Whilst I acknowledge your expertise richard may I ask if this applies in a UK court ?

First and foremost retain a qualified attorney who specializes in grandparent visitation cases. The best way to find an attorney is to obtain personal references if possible and do your shopping in the courthouse. This will help you observe attorneys in action and diffuse your own anxiety simultaneously. If the case is not complex and the respondent does not have an attorney, then self-representation is an option with the assistance of the self-help center of the court.

Hi they have fallen out anyway, he's away so none of us have seen the Granddaughter since Summer, as soon as he went away contact stopped. It's difficult for him to apply as he doesn't know where he will be in the world.

What does your son say about this? I thought grandparents didn't have any rights so will be very interested to hear how you get on.

We hear of an increasing number of women who do this and also take their children away from the fathers. When the fathers try to get access vie the social services they find themselves up against too many people who believe all the mother says and assume the father is the bad one just because she says so. It does not surprise me at all that some fathers just give up the struggle.

Best of luck to you
