Family court with grandparents

[Firstmom264]

Hi everyone. Bit of background before I get into my thread.. 20 months ago my fiancé committed suicide when our son was 19 months old. After his death my fiancé’s family have blamed me for his death and his parents have online abused, wrote horrible things and sent threatening texts to me and other members of my family. It got so bad that the police were informed 5/6 times and eventually an officer went round to give them a warning of their behaviour. Despite police getting involved the parents haven’t stopped with their online abuse and continue to blame me.
However, today I received court papers. They’ve applied for a contact order to see my son. I just want to hear some people’s experiences, thoughts, advice? I will just put it in there that when all this abuse started happening I still let them see my son round at my house while I was there.. they didn’t like that so they stopped coming round.
Thanks!

My advice would be for you to get a solicitor - you have facilitated contact which bearing in mind their behaviour seems more than reasonable.

Do have evidence of the on line abuse? That would be what I would be taking to court.

That is hard and I hope you are OK try not to worry, do you have anyone you can talk it through with IRL?

Speak to a solicitor.

As far as I know they have to prove they have had an ongoing relationship with the child.

You have ample evidence that this is not the case.

It maybe for the best if you offer something say starting with letterbox contact first building up to them seeing your child after while. But with them that you will stop all contact if they continue to bad mouth on social media, in real life and to your child.

They apparent distaste for you will greatly go against them.
Make a timeline of events and see a solicitor.

Definitely see a solicitor before making any offers. Not people I would want round my ds.

It may be worth posting in legal too
