My wife and I have broken contact with my mother. She is threatening to sue in order to visit with our son. We live in Virginia and were wondering what could actually happen?
Lawyers.com offers general information and not legal advice. Legal advice is based on the facts in your case, as applied to the applicate law. Your question cannot be answered in this forum without additional information. As a general rule, a person with a legitimate interest in matters of custody/visitation has a right to petition the court for relief. However, if both parents object to a third party having contact with their child, it is highly unlikely that a court will award visitation. Although you cannot stop her from filing, the evidence presented in court will determine whether a court will award visitation. Best of luck~
