Q: Is there any way to make a father solely responsible to show up on his own for visitation (2hrs/wk) without his parents?
My girlfriends ex is not even close to a father figure to his 2 children. He doesn't care about them. He never makes any moves on his own free will and his mother is the one talking for him if its via text or planning in general for him to see his kids for 2 hours every Saturday because he is incapable. She made her son get in a visitation battle with my girlfriend for the sole purpose to try to get the kids to have unsupervised visits at her house (his mom) which from my girlfriend's point of view is a no go. Is there any way to probably separate the court ordered visits with dad to make it (kids and dad only) and (kids and grandma only) so that he can show his true self without her using him as a pawn; which would make it easier for my girlfriend to say no on un-supervised visits with grandma because if we can drop the dad out then mom makes all the choices? I just need advice or anything to build off of. She has a lawyer and plenty of evidence to help....
