Here is the situation: My husband has a daughter from a previous relationship. Both my husband, myself, AND my husband's ex are having issues with my mother in law. Actually, its safe to say both of them strongly DISLIKE her.
She is now threatening to get an attorney to see my step daughter. Not because we told her she couldn't see her, but because she is not on "the list" to pick her up from school any more. She's used to being very "in control" due to the fact that my husband was a teenager when my stepdaughter was born.(She is now 7.) We've also let her know she will no longer be picking her up from her mothers because she's rude to her and its causing tension between my husband and his ex. I mean she REALLY over steps her boundaries and feels very entitled.
She has always called and said "She is staying the night with me tonight" instead of asking "hey do you have plans, I'd like to keep her for the night?" (keep in mind we only have her for a couple of weekends a month) Long story short, we sent her a nice but direct email regarding these ill mannered habits of hers and she didn't like it. This is what has brought her to want visitation rights. We have agreed to let her have her tomorrow, but she refuses to come to our home to get her because she's mad at my husband. Its completely out of hand. My question is, will she be able to get visitation rights? How would this work if she is with us the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekend of the month? The court couldn't possible take another weekend away from her mother right?
