In Arizona What Are the Laws About Grandparent Rights and How Good of a Chance Do They Have to Win?
Question by dragonball: In arizona what are the laws about grandparent rights and how good of a chance do they have to win?
I was married for 4 years and my husband passed away over 2 years ago. I have moved 5 times to try and get away from former in laws. Each time they track me down, finally I had to stop cause my oldest child will be going to school. They filed grandparent visitation rights against me and got a lawyer. Prior to the death of my husband at get togethers I did put on a happy face and they have pictures and video, they plan on using this against me; however I was not happy I was mentally and physically abused by my former husband. He also had an affair for a year. The father in law does drugs but I cant prove to the courts he does. Its my word against his. Can they win and if they do and I go against the court order denying them visits what will happen to me?
When my first husband passed away my children were babies. They do not remember their father. I since remarried and from almost day one my boys call their stepfather now daddy, they also think he is their biological father. He is also in the process of adopting them. At one time I did let the grandparents back into their life. They knew that my boys did not remember their biological father. I asked them to let me tell them when they were older and would understand more. They would not agree. They kept asking my son in front of his stepdad where his real father was.

go to your local friend of the court office and pick up a friend of the court handbook that’ll tell you the laws on grandparents rights and just because you were not happy is not a reason to take your child away. is there more to your story? what’s the harm in letting the grandparents see your child? i’m thinking the most they might get in court is visitations but i do not know for sure. State of Michigan Friend of Court Grandparent Visitation “Grandparents are afforded statutory visitation rights under certain circumstances. Grandparents may seek an order for visitation only if a child custody dispute is pending before the Court. Alos, the parents of a deceased person may file an action for visitation even if there is no child custody dispute pending and the grandchild has been adopted by a stepparent. Grandparents may not seek visitation if the parties were not married. Grandparents seeking visitation rights must file a petition through an attorney.” Hope this helps a little at least. That’s in the State of Michigan.
