Grandparents seeking an order that their grandson live with them

Private Law (Child Arrangements Programme (CAP))

29 November 2023

Louisa acted for grandparents who wanted an order that their grandson live with them. The parents had historically been unable to care consistently for their son yet sought on a regular basis to remove him from the care of the grandparents.

Evidence was heard from the parents, grandparents and a CAFCASS officer.

The grandparents were successful in obtaining an order that their grandson live with them. Contact with the parents was put in place but at a level that did not undermine the security and stability of the child’s placement with his grandparents.
