Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
visitation at school
Hello, My girlfriend has a 6 year old child whose father is no where to be found, however, the grandmother is around and makes my girlfriend's life at home a living hell. She drives an hour 3+ times a week to her school and comes and sits in class with her as a volunteer. When she comes she fills the kids head with all kinds of things as well as brings her candy and whatnot all the time. This is a 6yo kid and the last thing she needs is to be pumped full of sugar right before she comes home from school! My girlfriend has expressed that she did not want her daughter's grandmother to come see her at school, but the school will do nothing about it. Is there any kind of legal recourse to stop this? Can anyone really just come see your kid at school? This is really effecting her life at home and it really needs to be put to a stop, any information would be very helpful!

Re: visitation at school
If I were the mom, I would complain to the school board in writing that they are facilitating unauthorized visitation under the guise of "volunteering". If they refuse to respond, then you should seek out a lawyer who will consider filing suit.
Consider, that doing nothing indicates your acquiescence (agreeing through silence) to the visits strengthening the grandmother's case for court ordered visits.
Consider also, taking action may spur grandmother to file for visitation rights in court, which she would likely get. However, the court ordered visits would almost certainly be less invasive and less frequent than what she is doing now.
It may also spur the dad to try and have more contact.
