Merel Jonker advises on relation between grandparents and grandchildren
Merel Jonker advised a number of legislative lawyers on the right of grandparents to have access to their grandchildren in late June 2021. in 2020 the WODC study 'Omgang tussen grandparouders en kleinkinderen, een sociaalwetenschappelijke en rechtsvergelijkende studie' was published, which was carried out by UCERF researchers Merel and Christina Jeppesen de Boer in collaboration with the Verwey-Jonker Institute.
Although the policy response of then Minister Dekker was disappointing, a motion by Toorenburg requesting that the report's recommendations be followed up put the legislative lawyers to work after all. Omroep Max is also interested in the subject and will broadcast a report next summer, for which they interviewed Merel extensively.
