Hello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.
I appreciate that you have been good grandparents to your grandchildren. Could you please clarify what your question is?
John Melis, Expert
Grandparents are entitled to apply for parenting orders under s 65C of the Family Law Act, which provides:
Whilst grandparents specifically have standing to make an application under the Family Law Act; it does not automatically mean orders will be granted.
As with any parenting order, the court will always consider an application by the grandparents through the prism of what is in the child’s best interests.
You may start the process with mediation through relationships Australia.
The alternative is to commence proceedings in the family court.
We can chat in this box as long as you need.
