They told my husband that he does'nt have to right to have any say.We have filed the papers to get Custody of the boy.

Answer 1

seek legal advice

Answer 2

well, first it depends on the type of custody they have.
DO they have full custody or joint.
If it is full custody - then they pretty much have the say
how ever there should be visitation schedule that is set up and because this arrangment was made only because of you husbands work schedule,it should be flexable as agreed upon between your husband and them.
Obviously yur husband must feel there is is an issue going on there since he filed custody papers.
If it is joint custody then it should be very flexable,and seeing how it is the childs grandparents and his parents - if he wishes for you to pick him up, they should follow his wishes on this
I think you made a wise choice by fileing the court papers because it sounds like this is a situation that isnt working in the best interest of the child anymore

Answer 3

It's a power struggle between you and the in-laws.. maybe you are a threat? maybe they are bitter? whatever reason, why should there be a "WE" in filing for custody?

Sounds like world war three over there.. and what about the child? what does HE want? he has feelings, and he should be asked where he wants to live. if i were the child's father, i'd ask him if he'd like to live with me, or continue to stay at his grandparents' house.

and what makes your living situation more nurturing for a child?

lots to consider.
