Give grandparents the right to see their grandchildren.

Closed 378 signatures

What the petition asks

I have not seen my grandchildren in over 3 years. Currently there is no law in place which allows grandparents to see their grandchildren. There should be a law in which we should see them regardless of relations between the sets of parents. there are 'no winners' with the current law.
My daughter got a new partner and for some unknown reason he did not like us seeing our grandchildren. They have recently moved away and we now have absolutely no way of contacting or seeing our grandchildren.
