GRANDPARENT RIGHTS
Grandparents hold a special place in a child's life. If you're a grandparent fighting for custody or visitation rights, don't give up. We can help protect your bond with your grandchild.
Grandparents often hold a special place in their grandchildren's lives, but unfortunately, they may find themselves in a difficult situation where they are denied access to their grandchild.
Whether it is due to divorce, the death of a parent, or other issues, grandparent visitation or custody rights may become a disputed matter. Fortunately, family law systems recognise the importance of grandparents in a child's life and offer legal options to protect grandparent-grandchild relationships.

Understanding Grandparent Rights
Grandparents play a significant role in the lives of their grandchildren, but sometimes circumstances arise that prevent them from spending time together. If you are a grandparent facing barriers to seeing your grandkids, it's crucial to understand your legal rights. As experienced and skilled family lawyers serving Newcastle, Maitland, Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, and the Hunter region, we're here to help.
Grandparent Visitation Rights: What are they?
Grandparents can seek visitation rights with their grandchildren under the Family Law Act 1975. These rights include spending time with the grandchild and communicating with them in person or via electronic means. However, the court will consider the child's best interests before making any decisions.
When can a grandparent seek visitation rights?
There are several situations where grandparents can seek visitation rights, including when the parents have separated, divorced, or passed away. In cases where the parents are still together, but one parent is preventing the grandparent from seeing the child, the grandparent can also apply for visitation rights.
