Ny Grandparents Rights Please Help
Location: New York State
My husband died and his parents have filed for grandparents rights. Contact with 2/3 kids ended a year and a half before he died. Last child chose to end contact over a year before he died. They barely had a relationship and it was really bad at the end. I have proof of when it ended, that my husband did not want them in their lives, and that the kids chose to stop talking to them. They are accusing me of being the issue and lawyers are telling me there is nothing I can do and I can’t even defend myself unless it goes to trial. My children told their lawyer they want no contact but that didn’t matter to the judge. my understanding is that his death is only supposed to allow them to file, not automatically grant anything. My lawyer has basically said even with a trial it’s likely they will get contact. I don’t understand why they can use his death to go against his wishes and cause our children this additional stress and harm. Am I getting bad advice or is this really just how this insane law works?
