Grandparent Advice
We know that your child's happiness and stability is your main concern. Our approach is always to find the most constructive and least confrontational path forward. We focus on negotiation and mediation to reduce stress for your family, but we are always ready to represent you robustly in court to protect your child's best interests.
Before you can apply to the court for most orders concerning a child, you are required to attend a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM). This is a short meeting with a trained mediator to see if the dispute could be resolved without going to court.
This is the list of seven factors that a judge must consider when making any decision about a child's upbringing. It includes the child's wishes and feelings, their physical and emotional needs, the likely effect of any change, and the capability of the parents to meet the child's needs.
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of your case. If an agreement is reached, it can take a few months. If the case requires a final hearing to resolve contested issues, the full Family Court process can take from 6 to 12 months, or sometimes longer.
The first step is to understand your legal options. Contact our expert family solicitors for a confidential, no-obligation discussion about your case.
