Palm Bay, FL asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: Is there a legal way to stop a Grandparent from being able to see a Grandchild?

The grandparent has brought my daughter around another child that attacked her and threatened to kill her after it was agreed that if she took my child by herself that she wouldn't allow that. After about a year and a half I reached out to her and we made an agreement (which I recorded) that she would be able to visit my daughter with either my mother or I there but would NOT be allowed to take her. She saw her a couple times then out of nowhere refused to see her until she could take her again. I honestly feel like this is going to emotionally damage my daughter because she keeps going back and forth with seeing her. I believe she is mentally unstable and would like see if there is some legal option so that she may not contact my daughter.
