Then I thank you for your knowledge in the terminology department :) I'm still learning myself, with lots of help from Liandrajade... I just get upset reading some responses to peoples questions on here :( Really callous and cold. Thought I could at least help when it came to what the laws terminology affords. You've SET ME STRAIGHT!!

It's really not a matter that people are being callous and cold. This board is for Legal support and not emotional. Terminology in GPV cases is a must. Grandparents mistakenly believe that they have RIGHTS when they do not. Even a Gp who wins visitation still doesn't have rights. They ONLY simply have a visitation order to see the child. They still cannot determine anything in regards to the child. They cannot determine hair cuts, ear piercings, punishments, medical, they cannot even determine who they can expose to the child during their time. We attempt to set those people straight and they don't like the response because it's not what they want to hear.

Absolutely. I understand. Unfortunately, it does not seem like GP visitation is going away any time soon. Just wanted to provide insight that even though there aren't any rights to the child... doesn't mean they won't make your life a living hell to seek visitation and get their way. Thanks Rushia, you've been an enormous help.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
Okay well me and sons dad were never married he is a unfit parent. I on the other hand am not. ANy one my sons dad's parents were seening my son for a few mths and then got mad and stopped seeing him. Then 3 yrs later called and wanted to see him again. I gave them a chance and everything was okay for a yr and a few mths and then went bad. My son didnt want to go to thier house one time during the time that we had scheduled.My sons dad is not really in the picture and so his dads side gparents split my sons dad weekends so they can see him. Well because my son didnt go they freaked out calling me a big fat liar saying i put my son up to it and everything. My son is 6 he can make his decisions about what he wants to do. I started calling as soon as my son said he didnt want to go. No one answerd my calls but showed up at my house any way and expected him to go. my son said no and they lost it calling me names and saying taht i used them to get what I want and so on. Then said they were done and said bye. I then decided to let it b and not talk to them again. Then I get a text 2 days later saying they wanna talk this out. So i call them and it starts all over again then they ask for my weekend cause they didnt get theirs. I say let me ask son if he wants to go they tell me no i cant do that and i said last time I checked im the mom. then i said ok fine you can see him for the weekend but i expect when i call they answer and let me talk to him. They laugh and repeats it back like to say what ever so i get off the phone. I then talked with my husband sons step dad for almost 4 yrs and we decided it would best not to send him. So i send them an email to keep the fighting down to a minium. They send me a letter back stating dates and stuff saying all kinds of stuff and then have the same letter sent certified mail. I jsut let it go then last night i started getting txt and phone calls saying they can prove sons dad unfit and that they qulify for gparent rights. Do they have a leg to stand on being that they are in and out of his life. Also i did send out a calender to both gparents with dates that they would get him so that each set would stop calling asking while my son was at the other gparents. was taht a contract by any means?:confused:What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
and btw if dad was so unfit why did you choose to lay down and have unprotected sex with him? and you shouldnt be talking to your husbands sons stepdad about anything this legally is not his business.this is strictly between you and the grandparents.
