Visiting Grandparents for holidays

[angelface30s]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI

I am the mom, our son lives with dad in WI and our daughter lives in FL with me. Our daughter is in WI for the holidays. Both kids want to see there Grandparents (dads parents) (haven't seen them in 6 months) in WI, Step mom won't allow the children to see any family, no aunts, uncles, or Grandparents and dad doesn't want to stir the pot, so he sides with Stepmom(his current wife). However, stepmom insist on our kids going to her side of the family for the holidays. Grandparents of children are beside themselves and kids are upset as well. Stepmom has been allowed to call all the shots concerning the kids and dad stands behind all her decisions, right or wrong. After 10 years since divorce I am exhausted financially and mentally to fight any of this, what rights do the grandparents have to see the children. And yes, they saw grandparents on a weekly basis prior to divorce. Please help with advise on what can be done.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

It's as simple as can be: grandparents (your parents) visit when the grandkids are with YOU. They visit on your time.

Same with aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, and third cousins.

It doesn't matter if the grandkids are conveniently in WI and the GPs don't have to travel -- if it's Dad's time with the kid/s, it's Dad's time. Not yours to give away.

If you read my post above, it states, it is the dads parents wanting to see them on dads time, not mine. I completely know that when they are with me, that is the time for them to see my family. No need to get rude.

Golly gee whillikers, I did indeed miss that it's Dad's parents who want to see the kids on Dad's time.

I was not, however, rude.

You feel free to google your answers, or pay for an attorney. Or better yet, let the people who want to sue pay for an attorney.

Happy holidays.

"not yours to give away" isn't be rude..... Happy Holidays to you as well and God Bless, I know God will forgive you for how you can give it and never take it. I should have known better then to come on here and ask for advice.

What dad does with his children on his time is his business. If he does not want the kids to see their grandparents, then there is absodanglutely nothing you can do about it.

I will let them know.

angelface30s]You all so called...helpful people.... need to get a life and come down off your high horse.... You all must be misserable. this is called freeadvice, not come on here, ask a question and get insulted by some of you. At least we are trying to do right by the children, cause if we didn't give a ****, we wouldn't come on here.

Now go along your little Merrily lives and get some mental help, cause some of you are very insensitive.

Cheers!

Go ahead and block me, I really don't care.....

Grandparents have no inherent rights at all where the grandchildren are concerned. They only have standing to sue to try to obtain visitation rights, and that is not in all states. I honestly don't remember the current WI case law climate as far as gpv is concerned, but I can tell you that if the grandparents sue him for visitation, he will NEVER forgive them.

No one was rude. But you can also allow the children to see dad's family on your time. It is not that difficult.

They couldn't just sue HIM for visitation. They would have to sue BOTH PARENTS for visitation in the current state that has jurisdiction. Which may not be WI. It might be Florida. Or some other state.
