What is the name of your state? Florida
I am currently going through a divorce. My spouse and I have one child 2 years old. In the beginning of the separation, my in laws told me that they would always keep in contact with me no matter what as I am the mother of their grandchild. Since the birth of our child to present I send pictures, letters, videos, etc…. to my spouse’s parents on a weekly basis to keep them up to date of their grandchild. They live 1000 miles away and have only seen their grandson 3 times since he was born. In January, I did file for divorce and now they want absolutely nothing to do with me. They don’t answer my calls nor return messages, letters go unanswered (you get the idea). My husband stated that they never want to talk to me again because I put an “attack” on their son when I filed for divorce instead of signing the papers that he wanted drawn up.
Emotions aside now, they are coming for a visit to Florida in July for one week. My husband cannot get off of work during this time. Am I the required to sit in a room with these people who obviously have animosity towards me, to have my son visit with them (we all are aware that children, even toddlers, sense tension)? I do not feel comfortable leaving my son alone with them as he doesn’t even know them. What are their rights at this point?
