What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? South Dakota
I have a almost 4 year old child, I am not nor ever been married to the bio father and he has no visitation rights. I am remarried. The paternal grandmother helped me with baby sitting the first year of my sons life and now sees him about once a week for a few hours. I recently discovered that she was telling my son things that I do not agree with and allowing people around that I dont want around. I recently told her not to do this anymore and she got upset. I have not made arrangements for my son to visit her and have not answered her many, many phonecalls (at this time I am upset and dont feel we would have an adult conversation) My question is what rights does she have being my sons father doesnt exercise his rights? And if she does have visitation rights what would she be allotted? She has threated to take me to court although I have yet to deny her anything. I donot feel obligated to let her see him every week nor answer the phone if I am at work or busy
