My daughter keeps using my granddaughter as a pawn/weapon to get her way anyone who has a different opinion to her or her partner are stopped from having any contact with my granddaughter. 1,My youngest daughter has left home and now is band from seeing her niece because my eldest daughter does not think she should of left home. 2, she has fallen out with her cousin and can’t remember why but now she won’t let her cousin or her cousins daughter have contact with my granddaughter. 3, I have told her she needs to stop using my granddaughter as a weapon as it’s not fair on my granddaughter to form close healthy relationships and then be left wondering why she can’t see them anymore she may feel abandoned now I have been band from seeing her too (for the 3rd time) I have tried to talk and sort things out even tried to get her partners mum to help but she scared as she may loose contact too have also tried mediation but they refused that too so feel court is the only way to resolve this and get regular contact with my granddaughter back for her sake (I have had her every weekend for past 2 years) and I know she will be wondering where I have gone. there is a lot more incidents that she goes over the top with even giving advice about eczema cream was a problem will the courts help to resume contact

From your post your daughter sounds immature and vindictive. I will say though it's not unusual when family members fall out to stop contact between cousins/nieces/nephews/grandchildren etc. Without knowing your daughters side of the story we can't really judge here.

I'm not sure it's always as black and white with grandparents applying to the courts for access to their grandchildren though. Do a bit of research before you go ahead on this. I also don't think it's cheap. Good luck with everything OP.
