Hartnell Chanot: Divorce/Family Law Solicitors Exeter, Devon
Ways to stay in touch
Children enjoy routine and
they will anticipate and enjoy your communications.
Whilst it is ideal to have face-to-face contact with your grandchildren, there are occasions where this is not possible.
In this case, the court may grant ‘Indirect Contact’ where you can write to your grandchildren, send Christmas and birthday cards together with small presents.
Ways to stay in touch
In addition to birthdays, it can be beneficial to choose specific dates to write to your grandchildren. Depending on the terms of your order, you could write on the first day of each month or on the date of your grandchild’s birthday on a monthly basis. Children enjoy routine and will help them anticipate and enjoy your communications.
Presents and Gifts
Children grow up quickly and without having direct contact, it is not always possible to keep up with their hobbies and interests. It’s a good idea as they get a little older, therefore, to send a gift voucher and allow them to shop for the present of their choice.
