∙ 10y agoYou should contact an attorney who specializes in family law. You should be prepared to explain why you do or do not want court ordered visitations with the child's grandparents. You should also seriously consider whether you want your child to come under the jurisdiction of the court by having that decision made by a court. If possible you should consider a voluntarily agreement regarding visitations with the grandparents outside the jurisdiction of the court.
