Name changed for this as I wouldn't want to be recognised.
Please can someone tell me if this only applies to those who are divorced:

My husband and I are married. Would my husband's parent be able to petition the court for contact with our child? My husband's father is a narcissist who insidiously emotionally abused him as a child and teenager which seriously affected his self-esteem then and even to this day.
Despite this, he tried to forgive him and remain civil and friendly with him on a low contact basis. Mostly so he wouldn't continue to try to smear us and prevent contact with my husband's extended family. He is very outwardly charming with a well respected job title and family money. So no one would ever believe him capable of the many instances of gaslighting, manipulation, bullying and him playing the victim I have witnessed over the years.
We tried to keep a contact boundary this year (we wouldn't go to see his father and his partner once) and the blow back has been disproportionately large and hurtful. This for me is the straw that broke the camel's back.
I do not want our child to ever have to experience even the slightest bit of this.
If we went no contact, would he be able to apply to the courts to see his grandchild? If so, what would we need to do to stop this from happening?
Thank you for your help with this.
