Hi all! I am 25 and live in Ohio. I have a quick question about grandparents rights. My mother-in-law has theatened my husband and I with going to court to file for grandparents rights. Is she able to do this since we are married? Is it true that grandparents can not file against intact families or is this something I should look into? I am not sure if I should add this, but she has never been denied visitation, she has always been able to see our children in our home, with our supervison. She has never been able to take them on her own because we (my husband and I)see her as unfit. Thanks so much for your help.

I would just to be sure talk to a family attorney in your state.

I doubt she has any rights, but it never hurts to be sure. I bet she is just talking and trying to scare you by threatening an attorney.

And if she is causeing trouble, after talking to the attorney I would make that supervision a lot closer

Every state is different in this regard. If she files a motion for grandparent's rights make sure you bring all of your concerns to the judges attention.
