Q: My ex has not tried to see/call his child since Nov 2017. Is this grounds for abandonment? He also is not paying support
Ex's parents are trying to intervene to take his visitation. I shouldn't have to deal with them, should I? He and his parents don't speak. He and I made the court custody agreement. They didnt like it and are trying to not only take his visitation but change what we agreed to.
A: The visitation is between you and your ex. His parents cannot just step in and take over his place. You do not have to give them the child for his access. IF he chooses to exercise his access, come get the child and then let his parents see the child during that time, he can do that. But you do not need to make sure his family has access.
