Do I Have Rights As A Grandparent After My Child Divorces?<br /><br />Grandparents and grandchildren have a very strong bond, which needs to be maintained. The Australian courts recognise this and give grandparents a way to seek time with their grandchildren if it is denied by a parent.<br /><br />As a grandparent, it's important to maintain some kind of connection with your grandchildren. The best ways to do this if you have been deprived of that connection are:<br /><br />- Contacting one of the parents, preferably your own child<br />- Establishing some sort of ongoing relationship with that child either by an ongoing arrangement with the parent or by some kind of mediation<br />- If neither of these things is possible or continues to be denied, the best course of action is to lodge an application with the Family Law Court of Australia.<br /><br />Read more about grandparents' rights here: https://justicefamilylawyers.com.au/family-law/child-custody/grandparents-rights/
