Emmy,
That is awful - you have every right to see your grandchildren.
Unless you are a danger to them (and that seems unlikely) you should have as much right - if not more - than the parents.

Emmy,
Steam in there every Grandparent has the right to see their Grandchildren, you don,t need a top notch lawyer, you need someone who will fight your case and an understanding Judge/Chairman of the bench.

BOB.

Sadly children are used as weapons all too often, it should be made a crime in my humble opinion.

Good luck to you and I hope you soon get to resume that very important (for all of you) loving relationship with your grandchildren.

Hiya. Good luck, and I hope you're keeping all those cards etc. that you had returned ............... it would go in your favour later on when the grandchildren find out that Gran sent them things.

Take care.

I wish you well and if there's any justice in this world you will granted access to your grandchildren, you have every right to see them, I as an auntie was told I could apply for access to see my nieces and nephews and in my personal opinion grandparents are even more vital to children.

Best of luck xx

Unfortunately Emmy grandparents have no rights under the law as I know to my cost. I have not seen my youngest grandson for 50 weeks. I write to him and as far as I know he is given the cards and letters...at least they are not returned to me.

He is 9 years old and I live in hope that one day, before it is too late, he will question why a person whom he saw almost every day of his first eight years is no longer a part of his world.

I wish you all the luck in the world and hope that your case succeeds.

Jean.

Jean I was under the impression that the law had changed in the last few years and Grandparents could apply for access just as an absent parent can? I have to admit that part of me thinking that is due to a Jeremy Kyle show I saw where he stated that things were different now and Grandparents had rights, so I could very well be wrong.
I wouldn't be without my kids Grandparents being in their lives. They have brought so much enrichment to them. And even now at 14 and 15 they still have at least one evening each a week there having tea and just generally spending nice time with them.
