How can my mom get her grandparents right?

[Aquariusmami200]

Ok my brother and his girlfriend has a four year old son together and my brother wont stand up to her, so we never get to him him and my mom which is the four year old's grandmother never gets to see him.. she said she didnt want him around our family b/c we've gotten in a few arguments b4 so she will not let my nephew come to our house its court order that my brother get to see him every two weeks but she wont even let my brother pick the child up unless she is going with them..Ok so my question is can my mom which is the child's grandmother go to court to get rights to see him....and also the child is four and still wears pull-ups, and he cant read, write his name or say his abc's all she does is feed him juice and candy all day..he doesnt eat real food...and she doesnt take him baths but like once or twice a week and when she gives him one its like a wipe off...ok we our family have never treated the child wrong we try buying him things and its never good enough for her... also my brother pays child support every two weeks and he takes care of another child dat she has that not his...we stay in NC.

She certainly has the right to petition courts for visits. However if both parents object this will be an uphill fight. I would urge her to seek the advice of a Family Law Attorney before undertaking this pursuit

If the parents are still together then the chances of visits are not very good. your brother has the right to allow visits but if he will not grow a backbone to her then there is a problem

If you think the child is being neglected and is malnourished, call child services.

I will assume that your brother's girlfriend is actually his ex since he has a visitation and support order. So.....

Your brother has court-ordered visitation. His ex has no right to insist that she be present during the visitation unless it states that in the order.

If she is denying visitation, then she is in contempt of the court order. Before your mother even thinks about grandparent's rights, your brother should haul his ex back to court for contempt of the visitation order.

When your brother starts exercising his visitation rights, his ex will have no say about who the child spends time with during his visitation. During that time, your mother can see her grandson as often as your brother allows
