Should I allow my daughter to see her grandmother ?
My daughters mom is Bipolar and she threatened to kill herself . So the court gave me custody . But she still sees my daughter every Wednesday for one hour. In court we also had an agreement that she would spend Friday nights at her grandmas house. Her grandma was going through a divorce back in 2019 and sent me a text telling me that she did not want to do the weekly visit anymore . Two years later she sent me a text saying that she wants to start having the visits again . And I told her no .Is that the right decision ?

Wow I feel you because my MIL is also bipolar. If you have a gut feeling she could do something to herself while with your daughter or do something to your daughter then I would try and bring that up in court. Bipolar disorder does not mean everyone is a danger by any means but I see first hand how a bad case can be a dangerous situation for a child.

If you have a court order none of you can just change that on a whim. But if Grandma needed a temporary break with deal with marital problems there doesn't seem to be any reason why the visits couldn't commence again. One assumes your daughter is now bonded to her mom and gran in some capacity.

You said your daughter's mom is bipolar. You are your daughter's mom... so this doesn't make a lot of sense.

No its not the right decision.
The woman was going through a very difficult time. Perhaps she knew that it could affect her Grand-daughter if she was there through that. Now she has settled all that she wants to reconnect with the child.
I would say ask the child if SHE wants to see her again. If the answer is Yes, then allow her to. If the answer from her is No, then stick to your guns.
Remember its about the child's well being and connections, not about getting back for past hurts. OK?

Not enough info to guess if it was
the right decision, but generally, it
would seem to be. Were the courts
informed when grandma decided
she didn't want to bother with her
granddaughter any more? If not,
then you may run into difficulties.

What was agreed to in court? If the parenting plan hasn't changed, and grandma had friday nights with your daughter...
Then grandma still has friday nights with your daughter, even if she (by choice) suspended those visits for a while.
You want to keep your daughter away from grandma? Tell it to the judge. Either that, or make sure that your daughter visits grandma on friday nights...
