My nephew's on again off again girlfriend is taking my sister to court saying that my sister has harrassed her. The only time my sister has contacted her was to ask about her granddaughter. She won't let my family see the baby-just to be spiteful and NC doesn't have grandparents rights. Her family knows the law really well - they have all been in trouble and know what to do. That girl failed to mention that she called my sister a lot and has even met with her telling her that she will let her see the baby. Then when her family found out-the papers came. My sister has letters that she wrote to my nephew, who by the way, has an order agaisnt him!! It's like she just wants us to think things are okay-then she uses those things against us. My nephew got into trouble for breaking the order and for threatening her family and.is in jail. It was his frustration that caused this..I know the threats was wrong-he said he would beat their a** It's driving us all crazy!!

Your sister needs to stay away from the girlfriend - don't call, write, email, or communicate in any way before court. At court, she needs to be calm and not emotional. Don't drag anything else into it, just the harassment issue. If you can look up the exact ordinance that your sister is charged with, that would be great. It should say in the papers she got served. Look it up on the Internet, and find what the definition is. Then when you go to court, take any witnesses to conversations, or proof that you have. (itemized cell phone bill showing calls received from her would be excellent!) Do the letters from the girlfriend talk about her contacting your sister or allowing your sister visitation? If not, they won't help.

Obviously if they have been in trouble with the law they do not know the law very well or they are habitual criminals. The best thing to do is use the court system and avoid all contact with the child's mother. The Nephew is not setting a very good example for the child by getting arrested for making threats.
Contact a lawyer and allow the lawyer to use their legal degree to hang the family that is causing the problems. A lawyer will be able to make sure that your families rights are protected as long as you and everyone else in your family follows his instructions.

I would say that your sister need to talk to a family lawyer and see if there is any thing she can do about seeing her grand child. She also need to keep record of any phone call that take place between her and the child mother. Tape record the conversation so that she has proof. Your nephew need to keep his cool if their is an order against him then he should try not to violate it as this only work against him. He need to appeal to family court and get some sort of visitation right to see his child. It may be with supervision at first but he has to relax because the only person that he is hurting is his child. If he wants to truly be apart of his child life then do it the right way. Go to court get visitation set up and be there for his child.

It's a tough case. An order is law and as you can see your nephew will go to jail for breaking it. There is hope, the parents have rights and can say who can see the baby. The best bet is to have the parents file for custody and/or visitation from a family court judge. BUT BY ALL MEANS ANY MORE VIOLENT ACTIVITY (THREATS) will not make the judge very receptive to your requests. Good luck.

No more threats, even though his threats have little bearing on whether or not she was harassed by your sister. Your sister should keep quiet, don't talk to her, don't talk about her, just have her day in court and tell her story. Judges aren't as stupid as people think. Anyone can claim anything against another person, but proving it is another story. She still has to prove the harassment occurred.

Let her sue. Take the papers to court and show them to the judge.
Asking to see your granddaughter(unless done to access) is not considered harassment.
If the baby is your nephew's, he has ever right in the world to see her.
Just asking to see the child does not constitute harassment.
As a matter of fact he needs to sue her for visitation.

well it sounds to me like you have a person who knows how to get to your buttons and she continously will until you shut her out completly.
i know it is hard to think you will never see your grandchild but you should consider that
