Sometimes grandparents might look after grandchildren for a long period of time.
Get legal advice if you are worried about the children and want to know what can happen.
- If you are a grandparent taking care of grandchildren, you might have worries about your grandchildren going back to their parents.
- For example:
-
- you might want your grandchildren to stay with you until they grow up. OR
- you might want them to be with you certain days each week or each month.
- It’s good to get legal information and advice about your options. Start by calling Helpline.
