Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
I have two children. One is 1 years old and the other is 18 months. My in-laws are really bad alcoholics and they don't live in a safe environment. I lived with them for 2 1/2 years with my kids and husband because we had nowhere else to go. Living there, I knew first hand how they were. They were not nice to me and disrespected me and my children. I only slept there basically and during the day I would go over my parents house because they didn't have a very good living environment. Me my husband, and my kids moved out in December 09'. And I don't let them see my kids or me because they are very disrespectful over my house the one time i allowed them over. The one time they came over they brang over tons of alcohol and rolled tabacco on my counter. Now, they are saying that they have grandparent rights to see my kids and they will get to see them. And they are very weird people that they woud try and take my kids away. Is there a law like that? I mean my children never had them in their life even when living at their house, I just stayed in one room with them and didn't leave it until I left in the morning for my parents. So it isn't like they are important in their lives. I am just scared that they are going to get to see them and I fear for my childrens life.

They may have basic rights but if not in the best interests of the children they can be restricted from seeing them
You should have a lawyer---Maybe even ask for a child advocate to be appointed for the children---
This sounds like you are in Chester County

I have offices in King of Prussia and Exton and offer a free 1/2 consultation. Based on what you have written, they may have standing to seek visitation rights with the children. However, you can raise your serious concerns regarding their behavior and drinking.
