What are my legal options?
Question Details: I adopted a child in the state of Florida. The birth grandmother is demanding visitation. I have declined. She is now threatening to call "people" until someone forces me to comply. What legal options do I have to make her leave us alone?
Criminal Defense Law Answers
Although I do not practice law in the State of Florida, here are my initial impressions. First, you question is really a family law question, not a criminal defense question, and therefore, you should really consult with a local family law attorney. In any event, the general rule is that if you have legally adopted the child, then you are the child's legal parent, and generally, grandparent visitation is rarely granted. Regardless, you should consult with a family law attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail and to then evaluate any and all options that may be available to you. Good luck.
