QLD Granparents rights to see there granchildren.

[Shaen nicolay88]

Hi I'm new to this form and would appreciate some legal advice, my ex and I both have 5 year protection order against each other, this has prevented me from time with the children.
My mother has just joined as a party and the other side is contesting it.
Where in the legislation does it say that the children that children have rights to see there granparents?

Hello Shaen

Is this a child protection matter?

I'm quoting from the family law act

• What the effect might be on the children if there was a change to their living arrangements, including being separated from siblings or other important people in their lives.
• Whether the parents or other people (such as grandparents) can provide for the children, including meeting their emotional and intellectual needs.
