My kids Grandma has just left me a voice message stating that she's going to see a solicitor for visitation rights. My children are 8 and 9 years and we don't want her in our lives for various reasons, she is a loose woman, selfish, greedy, lazy and manipulative. The children are better off without her as her morals and standards pretty much don't exist. We are in the UK, what rights could she have, I've looked around on-line and there are organizations but I want to know the legal stance. Any advice please?

If both parents are alive and against it, grandparents, even in the UK, have no rights whatsoever. She will come home from her solicitors office a very unhappy woman. Where you get into a grey area is if one or both parents have died or the parents do not agree.

She has no rights. She's making threats to fake you out so that you will let her see the kids.
Go for a one hour free consultation with a solicitor yourself if you need reassurance.

not sure on this one but let her take you to court as you can have your say and at the end of the day your solicitor will know more than any one of us on here. Good luck and hope all goes well.

tell her that's fine because you're completely ready to tell the solicitor about her behavior and your reasons for protecting your kids!
