Daughter doesn't want me in her life

I've heard of such services, Granarchist, but don't know much about them. Usually, I'll hear that the GPs wanted to go to mediation but the parents refused. That's only in situations where the parents have some specific thing they want from the GPs, like an apology for whatever, and they say there's nothing to mediate. But, IMO, there are circumstances where it could work. Maybe, in time, the idea will become more popular.

The subject of mediation usually comes up if GPs are seeking legal advice because they're being denied contact with their GC. Before a case can go before the family law courts, mediation has to have been attempted.

It isn't only in situations where parents have a specific request like an apology and then, if I've read your post correctly Wendysue the GPs say there's nothing to mediate. Before we realised our ES and his wife were hell bent on cutting us out of his and his children's lives, he told his father that they'd never agree to mediation. The reason being that they wanted to exclude us from their children's lives and deny those children their loving paternal grandparents. They got what they wanted and we have the scars to prove it.
