Grandparents’ rights law in Queensland can be quite complex. It is an unfortunate reality that children’s relationships with others can be casualties of parental separation and in the event that the separation of parents is not amicable, the children suffer the most. On occasion, parents may relocate or form a new relationship, curtailing or preventing entirely the opportunity for grandparents to see their grandchildren.
Grandparents are able to apply for a Parenting Order where necessary with respect to their grandchildren. The Family Law Act (1975) states that children have a right to spend time with and communicate with their grandparents on a regular basis.
Parenting Orders for grandparents can vary; some grandparents require orders for communication, whilst, in cases of risk or abuse or exposure to family violence, it may be ordered that the child lives with the grandparent.
