Grandparent contact dispute in Scotland when child no longer wants visits

[Ano38058219]

My son starting saying about 9/10 months ago he didn’t want to see his grandad and would refuse to go, he seen him every Sunday for a few hours and the odd sleepover on a sat every few months, I have kept contact up but with me there and son still doesn’t want to go but we go for an hour in a public place to try keep the relationship there but my son has none of it and it’s starting to affect him, I have ask why and he shuts me down saying he doesn’t want to talk about it, grandad said he hasn’t done anything and is shifting blame to my partner saying it his fault and he’s telling my son to not like his grandad which isn’t true.
it all come to a head now grandad has went to a lawyer and I’ve stopped contact as it’s affecting my son,
I have messages of how my dad is to me and what he has said about my partner for the last 5 years, name calling ect so I feel he’s maybe said something to me son and he’s scared.
the grandad told me I better have lots of spare cash when I don’t and no clue how I’m going to afford it
what will happen will it go to court? And will they grant access if I can prove the type of person the grandparent is and it’s not in my child’s best interest as it’s starting to affect him, crying after each visit ect
im also in Scotland

He has no chance.

to get contact he’d have to prove that he played a significant role in the child’s life - including decision making.

what age is your child - he could be the age where his views will be taken into account

contact would only be awarded if it was in your sons best interests.

(Im in Scotland and have specialist knowledge of the children’s hearings system)

How old is your son?

He seems to think he has a really good chance and I know myself when I was little I didn’t want to see my mum and acted the same kind of way and there was a reason behind it but my son doesn’t tell me why.
I’ve kept screenshots of how he is with me and what he has said.
he also said social services will get involved but I e no idea why they would there hasn’t ever been any need or concern for them too that was used along in a message he was saying threats to me about courts ext

Was there something about the advice you got last time you did this thread you didn’t understand?

Legally there is nothing he can do. Your son may be have been abused, seek help.

Even in Scotland, your father isn’t going to be granted access to your child. The child’s own views are taken into account and the grandparent would have to demonstrate that he’d played a significant role in the child’s upbringing, which he hasn’t.

Stop taking your son to see his grandfather. He is clearly frightened of him and the potential reasons for that are extremely concerning. You’re also frightened of him, clearly. The situation is dysfunctional and is not good for your child, so stop pandering to your father.
