McHenry, IL asked in Family Law, Arbitration / Mediation Law and Child Custody for Wisconsin

Q: Can our Grandsons mother stop let us see our grandson with no warning? Our son died in 2020 and they were never married

Since 2020, he has come to stay every other weekend until 3 months ago, something changed and we've seen him once.

Over this last summer, she didn't let him stay half the summer like before because he's watching his 4 small siblings while her and her boyfriend work. He's 12 and his youngest sibling is 4.

I'm not after custody of him I just want to see my grandson like she was permitting before. When I call about him coming to see us she lets me talk to him but will not return my texts or calls to ask her if we can see him
