i have trawled many a site looking for info and found very little. i dont want to go speak to a solicitor just yet, i just want some info really as im not sure the case would 'stand' in a court and don't want to waste money.
basically - me and my partner are very much together and we have a lil boy who is less than a year old. the past few months his parents have been awful. terrible with us. even sinking as low as to blackmail my partner with 'things' such as you arn't welcome at home any more, clear your stuff out of the house etc etc.
well his mum has decided she wants to go for grandparents rights. after a head to head she's made it clear she will see a solicitor
i have MANY times said to her she's welcome to come to my home wich me and my son share with my grandparent - yet she says no. i actually have her recorded saying to the effect of i don't see why i should have to travel to see my grandson.
i refuse to take my son down for the simple reason when we do the atmosphere is awful and me and my partner end up arguing and getting upset with EACH OTHER. no enviroment for my son really, we don't argue infront of him but lil ones do know when things arn't right.
would a case like this stand up in court?
any advice but be greatly appreciated! thank you.

Your boyfriend and you have a child and his mom wants visitation rights?
The way I understand it is that grandma has no rights except through your boyfriend bring them for her to see. If that isn't happening, too bad for her, especially if she isn't nice.
What you do is document, document, document, record, record, record. If she does take you to court, you will have something to combat her charges.

yes, she wants to see my son. i have never told her she can't - many many many times i have made it VERY clear she can come to my house, which me and my son share with my grandmother. yet she says she doesn't see why she should have to travel to see her grandchild.
she's very rude to us - we can walk into her house and she will ignore us, not say a word to us, she threatens my bf and is abusive - she threatened to 'slap me' not so long ago and had to be held back by her own daughter who is only 16, not somebody i want being left alone with my child. she manages to curb her nastyness when she visits my house though (she has visited once) hence the reason i want her to come to my house.

Just tell her no, you will not drive to her house. It's my understanding if both parents are alive and agree that a grandparent will not see thier child, there isn't a court around who will make them.

Don't know about in the UK, but here grandparents only have the rights that their daughter/son give them for seeing the grandchildren, especially when they are still together.
Sounds like she would be a "wonderful" grandmother to have to deal with.
Just keep documenting and recording and getting witnesses. I definitely wouldn't want to be around her nor have my child around her.
Good luck!!!
