I was dismayed this week to read an article on a well known website, it was in reference to grandparents going to court for a contact order.
The article states that the cost of an application is £200, which is correct but when you read it, it sounds that there are no other costs, and that you can sometimes get that reimbursed if on a low income or benefits.
Really?
I must say I have never heard of grandparents getting their money back.
There is no mention of solicitors costs at all.
At the end of the article all becomes clear, it is written by a firm of solicitors.
I just need to say, before someone brings it up again, it a choice whether to go down the legal route or not, just make sure you go to a family lawyer, ask for your free 20 mins consultation and have costs up front.
