On I hear what you're saying. But, if I wait for stbx to sign papers, his grandparents will miss out on DS growing up. Is that fair? I have someone willing to take DS to visit with them (it's a 4 or 5 hour ride). I don't have to pay the gas or tolls. I don't have to interact with their family, and DS still gets to visit. The family likes me (some even love me) but I know stbx will be there and after everything he has put me through, I'm not ready to be around him for any extended period of time. If he were cooperating, and being reasonable things would be different. But I am so angry and frustrated with him that I can't be around him right now. Plus, I wouldn't want anyone to see me blow up at him the way he deserves.
I do think this will work out. The temp visitation is stated such that sis in law is completely responsible at all time for DS (thanks GiGi) so her ass is on the line if anything goes wrong. We're getting it notarized before we pick up DS from camp (thanks Mrpat) so everything is on the up and up.
I don't think DS will be allowed to visit in the hospital. (I checked their web site.) But, releasing DS for this visit will get the bug out of their ass about me. DS is excited to go visit everyone. i do think it will work out. I spoke to sis in law again last night, and it was a good, calm discussion. She sounds like she will do everything in her power to protect DS while he's visiting.
