Q: My daughter has shut out entire family, including biological sister, two brothers, mom, while pregnant from first grand-
Daughter. We have done nothing; in fact, paid for down pmt on house, honeymoon, flew her and husband home at our cost for all holidays. Apparently, because we wanted to attend the "gender reveal party" (we live on Easy coast) she got angry, stopped speaking to all of us, involved her husband, who has threatened her siblings and used vulgarity in texts and is holding this little girl hostage from her family. The baby, to be named Nola, is due any day now. What legal recourse do we have to be a part of our granddaughter's /great-granddaughter's/niece's life? We live in Union Coiunty, NC, and our daughter lives in Escondido, California.
A: This is a family issue not a legal one. You have no legal option to force your will on your daughter. If she wants to be a jerk there isn't anything you can do about it, at least not from a legal standpoint.
