Family Law

Grandparents & Wider Family Arrangements

Family breakdown can affect grandparents and wider family members as well as parents. Mancini Legal provides clear advice on options for maintaining important family relationships with children.

Grandparents Rights Solicitors | Mancini Legal

Grandparents and wider family members can play an important role in a child’s life. When relationships between adults break down, contact with children can sometimes be reduced or stopped altogether. The legal position can be difficult to understand, particularly because grandparents do not automatically have the same rights as parents.

We advise grandparents and other family members on practical options, negotiation, mediation and potential court applications. In many cases, careful communication and early legal advice can help avoid escalation. Where formal action is needed, we explain the permission stage, the child welfare considerations and the evidence likely to be relevant.

How we help

Why clients choose Mancini Legal

Clients instruct Mancini Legal because wider family arrangement cases require sensitivity and realism. We help clients understand the legal framework and focus on the child’s best interests from the outset.

Speak to Mancini Legal for clear advice on grandparents, wider family arrangements and child-focused options.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Grandparents do not have an automatic legal right to contact, but they may be able to ask the court for permission to apply for a child arrangements order.
Yes. The court’s main concern is the child’s welfare, and an existing positive relationship with grandparents or wider family may be relevant.
