That is exactly what the Troxel case was all about.momma_tiger said:The standards for GP visitation often change (and become more lenient) when they are the parents of a deceased parent.
It is automatic.. it is only when you do not have physical custody and the person looking after the child refused to hand them over that you need to take action.njmom said:Leagle.....this may sound like a stupid question, but I will ask anyway. If one parent dies, and a situation arises where the G parents are fighting for custody/visitaion, does the surviving parent have to file for custody, or does it just automatically go to the surviving parent?
No.. he does not need to put anything in writing and should not do so. Don't even mention the word 'visitation'. He just needs to cut down on the time she has the child and demand she backs off.njmom said:If I were you, I would just sit back and wait on it, sounds to me as if she is just trying to intimidate you. Also sounds like she is blowing smoke up your azz! If I were you, I would continue to let Your mom and Your grandmom care for the child, and back off letting the in law care for your daughter. If you haven't already, I would start documenting everything she says and does to you, preparing myself for backup, if she does ever try to sue you for custody. If I were you, I would also sit down and think about what you can offer her, as far as visitation, and send her a certified letting stating it, so at least you offered her visitation, which looks very good on your part! Good luck and keep up the good work Daddy! I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers! You are going to do just fine!
