What is the name of your state? California

My son and my daughter in law are filing for divorse. At their recent meeting, she claimed that she was going to get a court order preventing me from seeing the Grand child in my home. She claimed that I don't have a crib. My son pointed out to her that neither did her parents and she lets the child stay there. If she gets the court order, how can I fight it. I really can't afford an attorney right now.

You can't fight it. You have no standing to fight anything.

However, your son can fight it by placing the same restriction on her parents.

If she goes to court the son can't place any restrictions. The Judge Makes the rulings and Orders .

I can see the court ordering me to buy a crib, but if I comply with the courts request, shouldn't I be allowed to see my grand child. Can't I then take her to court requesting visitation??

Put It this way. If your son is awarded visitations, he can bring the child to your home , unless the court states otherwise .

Some states may grant grandparent's visitations if they've had a continual meaningful relationship for the best interest of the child, otherwise Grandparents aren't usually granted visitations.

I can hear this arguement coming up in front of a judge. This one makes me laugh. I am assuming that your son is going to get visitation rights to your grandchild. Therefore, when her attorney states my client doesn't want the father taking the baby over to his parents house because they don't have a crib, his attorney will say "your honor, my client has informed me that the grandparents have already remedied this situation". Judge says denied. She is going to have to prove not only you, but each and every person that that child sees, and she better come up with some good reasons.

Look, you're muddying the waters here. Your son is getting a divorce. There is a child involved. Don't you think your son should fight to make sure the child gets to see him before he starts fighting for you? Don't you think your son has enough to deal with here?

Tell your son what's been said here, and to make sure the judge understands that he would like it if any restrictions put on him will be put on her also. Other than that, he's got his hands full.
