Hey Peeps,
I’m concerned about my in-laws’ involvement with my kids. They watch them occasionally, but I’m uneasy about their safety. There was an incident with a loaded gun that they downplayed, and they repeatedly asked to take my 4-year-old to Florida, which made me anxious. If my husband and I don’t work out, what legal rights do my in-laws have to my children?
Hi Salish,
Sometimes you can get a judge to order that children should not be with an unsafe person. However, since you are currently allowing them to provide childcare, it may be difficult to convince a judge that they are unsafe and should be prohibited from seeing the children.
Depends on the state but nothing to stop the hubby from turning the kids over to his parents on his visitation times too.
Hey,
If you and your husband split, the grandparents’ rights won’t be a factor. He can choose to let his parents spend time with the kids whenever he has custody
Yes, he can let his parents have the kids for all of his custodial time if he chooses, including trips to Florida or the shooting range
