Yes, grandparents or other family members can apply for a Child Arrangements Order to spend time with a child. However, they will usually need permission from the court before making this application. This is because the court needs to decide if it is in the child’s best interest to have time with the family member. If you’re a family member seeking to apply, contact our child arrangements solicitors for guidance on how to navigate the process.
The court always focuses on what is best for your child. It considers several important factors, such as the child’s wishes, their emotional and physical needs, the effect of any changes to their situation, and the ability of each parent or caregiver to meet those needs. The goal is to make sure the child is safe, happy, and well-cared-for.
If you’re unsure how the court may view your situation, get in touch with us for a consultation with our child arrangement solicitors to understand how we can support you.
Yes, you can apply to change a Child Arrangements Order if something important in your life or your child’s life has changed. For example, if one parent moves far away or if there are safety concerns, you can ask the court to change the order to fit the new situation. The court will look at whether this change is in the child’s best interest. If you need help applying to change your order, our child arrangements solicitors can guide you through the process – contact us today for support.
