Grandparents and mediation is a good place to star

Grandparents, in general, have many concerns when their children go through a divorce that should not be overlooked. Perhaps the biggest concern for any grandparent is that of their grandchildren. What will be their living arrangements? How will this affect their emotional state of mind? Will they be able to cope up with the new arrangements? These are all questions that constantly go through the mind of any grandparent. Another concern that grandparents have is for the well being of their child who is going through the separation. Whether or not he/she will be okay emotionally and financially, will he/she be able to move on, how will this affect his/her children, are all concerns that grandparents have regarding their children.

There are some tips that grandparents should keep in mind when they find themselves in such a situation –
