If I was 2 months pregnant my husband passed away, how can I prevent his family from having visitation rights?
His family harasses me and is threatening to get visitation rights once my son is born. They live out of state. I am due at the end of this month.

The best way to take care of the issue that you have written about is to consult with a family law attorney to deal with the unwanted contact that you are getting from your deceased husband's family. Some states have statutes allowing retsricted visitation rights to grandparents of a minor child. Retaining a family law attorney to assist you in your matter seems to be the best option for you at this point in time.
