Help?

[Tcoy94]

I'm 34 weeks &  a ftm. My boyfriend & I have been together for over 2 years. He had a big falling out with his family mostly his dad. We live near my family now. I've been under so much stress worrying that his family can try & get visitation with our son. It's to the point where my bp is skyrocketing & the Dr is concerned. I'm by no means a mean person but if it's for the safety of my son I will do anything & my boyfriend backs me on this. Any advice?

Try not to worry abut it so much I understand you both are afraid of his parents but truth be told they are probably just so miserable because the parents know they truly messed up with their son and it takes a lot of money and Energy To Make that happen . Sad really .I'm in California

Your pregnant its not something you should worry about now. Your stressing out about something you dont need to worry about for another 6 weeks. Your boyfriend backs you. Thats whats important so let him deal with his family.

Even if he refuses to let them see our baby? He's not close with any of them at all, & none of them has ever expressed interest or has even asked about our baby.

I hear from different people there is & there isn't. So I'm really not for sure.

I just Google grandparents rights in Indiana and got all that..you can look it up and read more.

I am from Indiana and it states that if your child is born out of wedlock the paternal grandparents can only apply for visitation rights if your boyfriend gets a DNA test done and it is confirmed he is the father. So what I get from that is your boyfriend could refuse to get DNA testing done and that's that?

I had no idea there were such things as grandparents rights! My mom jokingly says that all the time and i thought she made it up!

Thank you!

I'm sorry. I'm in Indiana.

I dont know what state you live in but in Tennessee there are no grand parent's rights. It's your baby and if you and baby's father don't feel like they should see him/her then that is your decision. Maybe do some research and look up grandparents rights where you live.

[wookiemom]

Grandparents rights very by state, but most states require the grandparents to prove they had a relationship with the child that was wrongfully terminated by the child's parents.  Since your baby hasn't been born they can't  prove that.  But call a custody lawyer and ask them since they should be well versed in the laws in your state.
