I did not base my opinion on case law, I based on it what is actually happening at the trial court level.
No matter how involved with the issue you may be, you don't have the exposure or experience to make such a generalization.

These situations always suck. Grandparents lost their child and all they have left of him is his child. It's heartbreaking.
Unless the grandparents are unfit or dangerous to the child, why not grant them more access?
Thank you for your response. I agree, these situations do suck. I know she lost her baby, I do not even want to think of a world without mine. It is a very hard situation. I wish my husband were still alive. I would still have my partner, my son would have his father and we would not be in this situation now.
Mine and my son's time is already stretched enough. He goes to school and I work during the week, so evenings are usually a bit hectic so the weekends are nice for spending time together that isn't stacked between dinners, bath time and bed time. In addition to my time with my son he does have 3 other grandparents that want to see him too. Both sets of grandparents are divorced - so visits are separated. His grandmother that is giving me trouble now sees him more than the other 3, and she does not care and refuses to hear it. She does not care when the others see him only that she wants him MORE. It seems it is a competition to her.

Your son sounds like the luckiest child, most people on this forum are posting about fighting family that don't want the responsibility or the time with the child, whereas your little guy has all these people fighting for more time to be a part of his life!
I am not sure if you mentioned how long ago your husband passed, but perhaps the difficulty grandma is giving you is a byproduct of her grief that will slowly dissipate with time?

He is a lucky little guy! I am too - my child has so many people that love him and want to be a part of his life instead of people who mistreat him, even if it gets stressful at times. It has been almost four years since my husband passed away. There were issues with her before my husband passed away, and we had to set some boundaries...which was difficult. His passing did up the intensity of her difficulty - very understandably. It has faded some as time has gone by, but she has and always will just be one of those people that you cannot please no matter what you do.
I do not want to take visits away from her at all. My goal here has been to find out what could possibly happen if she did follow through on her threat of court. I want to make sure if I do stick to my guns how that could affect me legally.
