The campaign for Grandparents to have rights to see their Grandchildren.org.UK.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

My name is Terrence Mullett I’m the father of four children and grandfather of more than twelve grandchildren. They live all over the country some in the isle of wight. Some in Summerset & some in London, and like many other grandparents because they have broken Down
there are approximately 14 million families that are lousing out, so now I’m calling Grandparents across the country to unit and to join up to get the law change. So, we are not segregated any longer. I’m asking Grandparents to contacted me and support this campaign.
Seeing your children go through a divorce is understandably a challenging time, and when they have children of their own, the process can become even more difficult, so you might be wondering ‘do grandparents have rights?’.
