What is the name of your state?Iowa
Our son has a 5 month old baby boy. We have seen him once out of the goodness of the mothers heart. Our son is being a jerk, no child support or visitation to the baby. The two are not married and he still has alot of growing up to do. He threatens the mother with legal things and tells everyone he is not allowed to see his son. This is not true, they have told him he can come and see him anytime but that he cannot leave the house with him. I don't blame them for that. They are more than willing to let my husband and me keep him for a weekend here and there, however their lawyer has advised them that it would not be a good idea because our son could come over and take him out of the house and there would be nothing we could do about it. I don't think our son is responsible enough at this time and he does not live with us. He lives with his biological mother. I don't want to get in the middle of a confrontation with the two, I would have to take the mother's side, she is doing very well raising our grandson, however I do want to be able to see him without chaperones. What can we do to be sure our son could not take him from our home and yet be able to see his son in our home, or at least be with us at times. We want our grandson in our lives and will do what is necessary so that the mother can feel it is safe to leave him with us .
Please advise ASAP
