My step daughter and grandson who live with me and my husband have a visitation schedule with the father of the baby. My grandson is now 19 months old. His dad gets to see him every other weekend from friday night till sunday night per court order. He took his son the first time in March of 2012 for the weekend. He called us on Saturday night and told us we had to pick him up, because he 'can't handle him'. So we went and picked him up. He then didn't come and see him again until June of 2012. He had him 2x and then stopped picking him up again. Just before Christmas he calles and demands to see his son (weekend before Christmas). We told him, since we haven't heard from him, he can see his son the following weekend, since we made already plans. We agreed that he can also have him for Christmas in the afternoon per court order. He then continued to pick him up every other weekend until this past weekend. He called us at 10 AM Sunday and told us to pick up our grandson. He gave no reason, but he did say to my stepdaughter that he doesn't think that he is the dad and that he wants her to do a DNA test to prove it. We told her not to worry and not to do anything yet.
My question is, since he has a court order to see his son, but he doesn't see his son on a regular basis, what options do we have to change the visitation? We don't want our grandson to have him in his life, specially if he decides every 6 months or so to play Daddy. It is not healthy for him, specially since he is so little and doesn't understand why he has to go with this stranger for an entire weekend. Also, when we picked him up, he was only dressed in diapers, no clothes on him (it was only 18 outside) and the place was filthy.
