sounds like you may well require a specific issues order or even a prohibited steps order relating to contact with the grandmother. These together with the contact order you will certainly get are all made under section 8 of the Children Act. This means that when making a contact order the court can also make other orders under the Act. Therefore bring these problems to the judge's notice and he will be able to make orders to protect your daughter's welfare although you will have not specifically asked for them
If you need any further help let me know.
