undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Texas
I have a 6yr old son. The man who we thought was his biological father is not and is now terminating his rights for my husband to adopt. We have known since I found I was pregnant with my son he may not be the alleged fathers baby. But out of immaturity I let the alleged father's family talk me out of having the DNA test done when my son was a newborn. My husband has been in my son's life since he was 18mths old. Now that we have petitioned the courts to terminate the alleged father's rights his parents have stepped in and petititoned the court for visitations. I have heard they have no legal grounds to stand on. Please someone help me. If they can petition the court for visitations stating they have been his grandparents for 6 yrs. Why can't my husband's parents petition the court for visitations since they have also been his grandparents for 5 yrs.
My question really is though without any kind of biological ties can these people who just want control have the visitations with my son? Even though they have not seen him in 7 mths?
