Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Family court petition harassment

My mother has custody of my nephew since 2003. The boys mom and grandmother have lost about 9 out of 9 trials, walked out of visitation, was ordered to do drug treatment and has failed to do so. A million other wrongs, too many to list, a kidnapping plot and everything!!! my main question is: The mother and the grandmother in question have started up again with a petition, went to trial and lost again recently, the grandmother walked out of the court room and filed another petition, the same as last time just worded different. I want to know what is the proper procedure to do to stop their legal right of being able to file a petition due to harassing my mother. She is older, has full custody and wants to be left alone!!! any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: Family court petition harassment

In some very extreme cases courts have limited a party's ability to file motions, petitions, cases, etc., without prior approval of a judge or referee. Your attorney should be able to help you determine whether your situation qualifies for such treatment.
