→Children's Caregivers and Extended Family
Grandparents and other people who are not parents normally become involved in court proceedings dealing with children, as parties in their own right, in only a few situations:
#where one or both of the guardians of the children are dead;,#where one or both of the guardians have abandoned the children or the care of the children;,#where there are serious concerns about the fitness of the guardians to care for the children; , or,
#where they are being denied time or involvement with the children.
Their concerns are usually about:
#getting contact with the children;,#supervising the parenting of the children when they are with a guardian; , or,
#being appointed as a guardian of the children.
