grandma rights?
Hi I'm 30 weeks and 5 days. I'm very frustrated and furious over a summons I received in the mail. Its for my son father mom taking me to court for visitation. His father has never even done that!! I'm so angry that my son has to talk to a lawyer explaining what he wants to do. He's only 8. Why would she do that. She never calls him or ask me for him. She even missed his birthday party. My husband wants me to stop stressing because I'm pregnant but its hard, that's my son and my only child for 8 years.I have a lawyer coming with me but its still irritates me. Any advice??
I hope so thank you for the support
Just pack a bag and shake it out. Roaches aren't like bedbugs - you can just shake them off stuff and step on them and they're gone. I'm sure your son would like to have his things with him to get him through the weekend.
And who knows, maybe this will "scratch that itch" the grandma has to have visitation with him. It's likely he'll be bored and not all that fun to have around, unless she plans a lot of wonderful experiences for him. In which case it would be positive.
Best wishes. Difficult people can sometimes be really wonderful grand parents.
This is hard.

Ugh, you have to send your kid there for an entire weekend? They've got bugs. Yuck. this doesn't sound like a safe environment at all. Your poor baby and poor you. sorry!!
Thanks ladies for the support. My husband does not like to talk about it because he don't want to make them relevant he say let's just get a lawyer and fight them that way. Which is what we will do. The judge gave her one weekend before court. Being that she has roaches would I be wrong to not pack a bag for him and let her know she has to purchase clothes for his stay? Or just pack a bag and shake it out ?
Holy heck. I had no idea that people could demand rights to your child other than the parents. I would be furious as well. Definitely document everything and fight it. Kid doesn't need to be put through such stress and drama and shouldn't have to deal with unhealthy drunk people. Sorry :(
I think it's odd that she'd resort to going to court before even trying to call and talk about visitation with you first. Try and cut it off by offering mediation, etc and express your concerns... The court will have to evaluate her home before sending your kids there. Tough spot to be in, wish you the best!

Make sure to try to document their drinking and such. That is scary to think of sending your child who hasn't spent much time and on top of that . . . it's an unsafe environment.
it's hard. I'm sure you'd want normal people that love him to be in his life--- but if they are drinkers, you are protecting him by keeping him away. Then you have to fight things. So good advice to seek a home inspection.
Sounds stressful. Hopefully it can all work out for the best. peace and luck

A guardian ad litem talks to the child and determine what's best for the child. But why would we ever have to do that if I don't keep him away. My mind is racing
Good for u I wouldn't want my son around that either and I am sorry this is going on while your preg like that's not stressful enough
I'm in Virginia. She told the judge she don't call for him. I don't know why the judge kept it going but she did. Everything seems to be on my side but judge still directed a guardian ad litem for my son. It just don't sound right. So with that said I will be getting a lawyer. And in my state there is no law that states grandparent have rights but they can file I will fight until there is no fight left in me
In my state, people can only get grandparents rights if the other parent has no rights to the child AND if they can prove that you've been unreasonable keeping the child from them.
Lol get the hell outta hea I think I would be mad at my husband for allowing that too. Nah ah.
I thought grandparents rights only applied if the mother our Father we're not the caregivers anymore as if the mother and father were not suitable
Yes I agree with the other lady have them do an in home inspection and let the courts know your totally OK with her seeing him but not taking him into that inviorment. And grandparent rights are usually not granted unless there has be several attempts to contact the child and you have completely refused to let her see him.
I'm sorry I have to deal with this. I don't get help from anyone not even his father. He's on child support but don't pay it so that's useless. I believe this is just a test for me but it still hurts
Well that certainly changes my thoughts. ..that's to bad. Agreed with above statement about asking for home inspections and I'm sure you will be bringing all this up in court. Would have been easier if they were clean normal people...sorry you have to even deal with this
Tell them you want a home inspection. They might do one without them knowing and see that it's not very fit for kids.
The grandmother drinks a lot but her husband is a bad alcoholic and he curse at my son when he goes there. The house has been involved in a shooting because of her other son and she has roaches Really bad. Every time my son used to come home a roach would run out the bag. I would love for her to see him but not for her to have overnight stay with him. I don't know what to do my mind wonders everyday and May is a long time from now for the court date

Are the grandparents drug addicts, alcoholics, or abusive? If not they why not let them have some visitations? Your son is 8 and will know one day who is the one who has always been there.
I will say it is EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful of them to dp this right now when you are about due...sorry
