Hi I wonder if anyone can offer some advice, I am on here on behalf of my son, his son is 3 and a half and he split with his partner when baby was under one years old, they have been sort of amicable, basically because my son has his son very regularly staying over and I get him every other week to stay over one night, I know she isn't happy that I spoil him and buy him toys and the little boy has said I am not allowed toys, so I don't buy him any toys as I don't want him feeling uncomfortable, she only answere her phone when she wants to and occasionally when he has been staying over with me grandma she has stopped him from coming with one excuse or another, basically I don't have any rights, her mother gets to see him all the time and got to see his first sports day at Nursery but she didn't tell me it was on till I asked and she said oh he had it last week., he loves staying over with me we have so much fun at the Park the Beach etc. Anyhow she has started saying to my son you can't have him this week I don't want him stopping out twice this week, he can't communicate with her as she just says Im his mum and I don't have to tell you anything, she is using my grandson as she knows we both love having him but it's up to her when we get him, surely this isn't fair? my sons name is on the birth certificate and we were wondering should we seek legal advice so that she can't dictate when he sees his son, my son is a wonderful dad and wants to be a part of his life but she is dictating and making her mind up if we see or if we don't, she is trying to wean us out of his life and we won't let that happen, can you help us please
