What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
My husband and I lived beside of his parents for 5+ years and then something happened between the grandfather and his step grand daughter who was 12 at the time I being the mother was furious and my husband and I decided for the best interest of all our children we should move. my husband and I have two children of our own and we have custody of my niece and I had two children previously. But after we moved I told the mother that I would no longer allow my children to her house because of what her husband did to my daughter but she was welcome to come to our house to visit this enraged her and she went to get visitation of our 2 children they would not let her get it for the other 3. I am very upset that she does not want the children to be protected as I do from the grandfather. She wants everything her way and when she wants it. I still dont deny her visit just when it is convenient to my husband and I and as long as we are present when they are around the grandfather. What do you think I should do we are ordered to go to mediation I feel like I have the right as a parent to decide when and where visits take place am I wrong.... I dont feel i should have any of my rights taken as my husband and I are together and wish it be at our convenience. What should we do?
