In order to have a full understanding of what is going on with grandparent visitation laws in AL you really need to go the the AL government website. Search the statutes for the laws on grandparent visitation rights.

The go to the judiciary section of the site and search for court opinions (case law) on the same topic. By reading the statutes, and then the case law, you will have an understanding of the situation.

However, if you also want to tell us your story, you may be able to get some advice here as well.

You really need to try to get this moved to another venue. Unless you were asking for supervised visitation because you feel mom is unfit, grandma shouldn't have been able to get standing for visitation and it shouldn't have been ordered to take place at grandma's house.

If BOTH parents are opposed to grandma having legal visitation then it also shouldn't have been able to be ordered.

Without knowing exactly what the court orders say, its hard for me to comment more on this, but it should be fixable.
