Can I stop my ex boyfriends mother from seeing my child?

Hello,

I'm seeking immediate advice on if I could stop my ex partners mother from seeing my child. My ex partners mother treated me horribly throughout the pregnancy, I had to stay with her for a while and she was controlling, narcissistic and toxic, which also rubbed off on her other two children she has which are 4 and 5, the 5 year old copied her toxic behaviour and the mothers boyfriends anger issues by screaming and throwing things when he did not get his way.

I am worried if I let this woman into my child's life she will have a negative impact on him and he will get traits my ex had which were caused by her.
My ex boyfriend says he does not want her in his life but I do not believe him.
I am worried that he will take my baby to her house, he is on the birth certificate but it would honestly stress me out and cause upset if he took my son to her house.

Please please please
Can someone help.

Thank you so much

Grandparents have no legal rights, you don’t need to allow them access

@Charlierocks111 she doesnt need to provide access herself, but she can't stop her ex taking the child to see his mum, which is what she asked.

You can go to court to get contact with her specifically prohibited. If the judge agrees.

You do not have to allow access. She won't have a case for contact unless there is already a meaningful relationship with the child already established.

However. Unless you can prove she is a danger if the baby's father chooses to maintain a relationship with her and create on between his mother and his child there isn't much you can do.
