Q: How to stop in-laws from contacting my children at school?
I'm concerned about my in-laws contacting my children, and they're now helping at my children's school. I've not communicated my concerns to the school administration yet. How can I stop my in-laws from contacting my children, considering our existing legal custody agreements?

A:
To stop your in-laws from contacting your children at school, the first step is to review your existing legal custody agreements. If your custody arrangement includes specific provisions about who can have contact with your children, this could be the basis for your request. You should keep in mind that, unless a court order limits contact with the in-laws, they may still have some rights to interact with the children.
Next, you should communicate your concerns directly with the school administration. Let them know about your custody situation and your wishes for your children’s privacy and safety. You can request that they not allow your in-laws to contact or interact with your children without your permission.
If the school is not responsive, you may need to seek a modification to your custody agreement through the court to ensure your in-laws’ contact is restricted. It’s important to document any incidents and communicate clearly with both the school and your lawyer to ensure that your children’s well-being is prioritized.
