Brazilian Grandparents Seek Access to Grandson a Few Months After His Return to Father in US Following Six Years of Legal Wrangling in Brazil
It took Son’s Mother’s death and six years of wrangling in Brazilian courts after Mother abducted Son, for Father to be able to see Son and to bring Son home to the US last December.
Grandparents were right there alongside Stepfather as he maneuvered for years to deny Father any contact with Son and to block Father from regaining custody of Son and returning Son to his native New Jersey.
Since Son’s return just several months ago, Grandparents have repeatedly sought access to Son. Now Grandparents are complaining that Father has denied them access to Son for … a whole month.
It is not clear what the legal basis for their position is, if any.
Father reportedly wants therapists to supervise any contact between Grandparents and Son, at least during Son’s adjustment period.
Not getting their way, Grandparents showed up in New Jersey and filed an emergency proceeding for visitation. The Court would not entertain the matter on an emergency basis, of course, but did set a future hearing.
