Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
My ex wife past away several months ago and we had joint custody. My son has been living with me ever since. My ex's parents are trying to get visitation. I have never denied them visitation for more than 90 days. I agreed with the G. A.L to one weekend a month but now all of a sudden he is proposing every other weekend for them to have him. I don't know what to do. Should I just take it all the way to the judge? I don't want to have a visitation schedule with his grandparents for the next 10 years.

I am very ssorry to hear of your loss. May the pain decrease and the happy memories increase. If you and the grandparents l cannot agree on a schedule, the Judge will decide for you. But, that may be better for you and your child. Once a teenager, your child can have more say in how often he wants to visit his grandparents. Often it is therapeutic while the kid is young, and the loss is fresh. Kids adapt, and too often parents cannot. In some cases, the kid asks to see their deceased parents 'parents, if they seem to only talk about the deceased parent. There aren't enough facts here to tell you whether to contest the GAL's recommendation. You need to consult directly with an attorney and a child therapist in your area.
Good luck
