More details to this question:
My girlfriend has a daughter she's 3 her father passed away when she was 1 since then I took the parenting roll. The fathers mother is taking us to court for visitation the reason visitation was denied in the first place was because the grandmother keeps drilling the baby about her dad and about him being in heaven showing her pics and telling her what a great man he was. My girlfriend didn't want the baby knowing about her father yet because my girlfriend wasn't desired on what she was gonna say because he wasn't a great man he was a drug addict who died of an o.d. Also stole the baby's money the mother has saved up for a crib etc. the grandmother is so obsessed that she has regular meetings with a physic etc. she also doesn't like any male figure around the baby because it isn't her son. She even causes a lot of arguments. For example she told my girlfriend she must leave our home because the physic told her I'm selling drugs etc. she even calls the baby's school to chek if she there

Usually grandparents cannot get court ordered visitation. Usually it is up to the parents discretion whether there is visitation unless there is some extenuating circumstances like the child lived with the grandparent for an extended period of time, or the grandparent had custody. Its mostly up to the parents to decide what is best for the child.
