grandma rights?

[CountdowntoApril]

I am 30 weeks pregnant dealing with a visitation case with my 8 year old son grandmother. I am so irritated over this. I check my mail with a summons to court. She don't even call to come get him. She missed his birthday no call no show. All she had to do is ask me but she sends me to court. His father never even done that. I'm so angry and frustrated I can't get it out my mind. My husband say stop stressing because I'm pregnant but I can't help it that's my son and all I can hear is a judge saying she can have visitation rights?? I'm furious (tears)

Well yes there is a such thing as grandparent rights. And yes they gave her a weekend for each month until May court date. Today will be the first weekend and he cried before going to school this is a sad situation that I never imagined going through

There is such a thing as grandparents rights, but from the sounds of things I would think that the court would just write up papers saying that you can't deny visitation (not that you are) and that she will have to set up times to visit with you. I don't think they can rule an every other weekend thing like they can with parents but they may say something along the lines of she is allowed so many hours in a month...

Don't stress too much there's not much they can do and your son is old enough to speak for himself. It's a good thing the court date is not until may that way you won't be pregnant anymore

Thank you everyone for the support. I hired a lawyer and she had made me feel a lot better. I'll keep everyone posted after court date just in case any of your babies grandmother tries this. Hopefully not!!!

I do beleive that if you have not told her no to seeing him and she hasn't been in his life alot then they can turn her down bc she hasn't been trying to see him till now ....just mark down if she does call or something keep a notebook of all records of things that happen in his bdays say if ahe called or not or xmas any holidays I'd she calls or not if she calls and wants to take him if he wants to go or not mark everything down I have to with my wx for my daughter who is 8 and it ***** but keeps me in good standings and if I have to go to court again for anything its all written down as proof dates times etc....good luck don't stress I'm sure they will dismiss it ...hugs your way mama

I'm sending my prayers up for you! Keep your head up! And the stress isn't good for the baby!

Its upsetting because yes I'm pregnant now but he was my only child for 8 years it was just him and I. He say he don't want to go with his grandmother. I hate putting him in adult situations. Why are people so cruel. But I will be going to court with a lawyer and a good one at that.

[CountdowntoApril]

We went for court but they assigned my son a lawyer where its his choice if he wants to go or not. So now my 8 year old son has to be questions by law. Im irritated to the max. And the court date is not until May 5th so this has to be on my mind for months.

She's probably doing it for the dad. Honestly and may get the visits with your son... Don't stress, relax and take a breathe.
