Can you keep grandparents away from their grandchild?

Question

Can you keep grandparents away from their grandchild?

Answer 1

legally speaking... If you can proove that you have a reason to keep the child away from the grandparents.

Some states have laws regarding "grandparent's rights".  I personally think it should be the PARENT'S decision tho on who they do or dont want their kids to see.

Answer 2

It's not a horrible thing to do based on your situation. My mother-in-law has some serious problems and my husband and I try to keep our kids away from her. Also there is a such thing as grandparents rights, depending on the law where you live they can take you to court. But if there is a good reason I don't see why you can't.  

Answer 3

There are such thing as Grandparent's Rights.  But the question is "Why"?  If they are abusive, then certainly you should keep them away.  Is the problem between you and them, or your child and them?  If your child benefits from the relationship, then you should let it continue.  How sad to not have both sets of Grandparents, family is a blessing, even though sometimes they are also a pain in the ***.

Answer 4

of course you "can", but what a horrible thing to do.  

Answer 5

Yes.  If you feel they or anyone else is unfit or a bad example you can choose what's best for your child until he or she reaches age of majority.

Answer 6

It is your job to provide the beast raising and living enviroment for your children, and if that means restricting grandparent access, you are more than within your ethical, moral, and legal rights, regardless of any grandparent laws.  These laws are to protect people who would be able to improve the lives of their grandchildren when the parents are unable to provide a habitable enviroment, not just so they can see the kids.

Answer 7

Depends...if you really dont want yoru child to see them and neither does the father than you should be able to because there is obviously a reason why both of you dont want to if your both saying no.  If the other parent doesnt agree then it will be difficult for you.  I hate my ex boyfriend's mother and i never wanted her to see the baby but me and him broke up and she gets to see my daughter.  It still makes me angry but now im expecting another and its with my fiance who is a different father and im so happy that crazy woman doesnt ever have the right to look or touch this one or any of my future ones since she isnt the grandma.
