if male spouse is deseased can surviving spouse prevent deseased spouses parents from visiting their grandchildren

many states are now adopting grandparents rights laws...so the surviving spouse can deny visitation, however, depending on the laws in your state the grandparents could pursue a court ordered visitation agreement...
why all the bad blood? Why not just work it out for the sake of the kids?

There are 2 facets to each tale and yours is extremely obscure. This funds situation - first you assert that it would not contain her, besides the undeniable fact that it additionally appears like she replaced into paying you for babysitting and is not any longer and you're lacking that earnings. i'm truly curious as to what she could ought to declare approximately this. My feeling approximately conserving grandparents faraway from grand young toddlers is this - If the grandparent isn't respectful or considerate to the parent, the grandparent truly would not care relating to the newborn and should not be allowed to be certain that newborn. a newborn's maximum severe relationship is that together with his dad and mom and if somebody, all people is disrespectful or brushing aside to the parent, it impacts the dad and mom well being and not right now impacts the newborn's besides. So in case you truly need to be certain your grandchild, my advice is to take possession of YOUR area in this subject and write her or digital mail in case you need to and exhibit regret. i'm confident you're no longer as harmless as you propose.

first of all i hope there is a good reason why you don't want your deceased spouses parents to see your children......i would think that you would want them to be involved--but anyway getting to your question--grandparents have rights just like parents do--if they really want to see the children and they don't have criminal records or anything like that they probably would be granted some sort of visitation if they took it to court or got an attorney--i don't know what they circumstances are really so i cant really say for sure --but i do know that grandparents do have rights--hope this helps you a little and good luck!

Yeah they are the parent, they can do whatever they feel is best for their children.
If this is a problem, the grandparents may be able to go to court and force visitation.
I would only not let my children visit the grandparents, if I thought they were a danger to my children.

Depends on the state. Here the Grandparents are included in the visitation in a divorce. Why do you want to cut your children off from part of their family?

Not in Florida, Grandparents have very "open door" policies on these issues (so many people in Florida are retired and laws support them). But you'll have to check your State. I've had friends that have the worst battle especially if the deceased's parents don't like you. They just use the kids to jab at you. Sorry

Unless you have something in writing barring them from visiting then yes you can stop this, but why would you? These are the kids grandparents and willonly be around only so long so let the kids know their grandparents or you may regret it later

I think this varies state to state, so you should check with an atty probably one of those listed as free consultation - but a word of caution here...
Your children need to know their grandparents.. even if you don't like them or think they are great people. It's the blood that runs through their veins.. you may want to limit visitation to a set place /times/ etc.. and establish ground rules (like no smoking in front of my child, etc.. ) but let your children know their blood.

You can try.... but if they take you to court you have to prove that they are unfit or a danger to the child they wish to visit. Why go through that? Or put your kids through it unless they are unfit?
If they are unfit and they do get a lawyer, you make sure you do too. And document why you think they are unfit... cite examples if you can. Don't just think they'll go away.
If they aren't unfit, than let them see their grandkids. Its the nice thing to do, and being nice rarely costs you anything

unless there is a reason to believe that they are unfit, just as you would an absent parent, grandparents have a right to visitations!
