Why is my ex-mother-in-law allowed to take me to court for grandparenting vistiation?
She will tell my kids hateful things about me. I don’t get why I should be made to let my kids go with her. She doesn’t ever want to see then on a regular basis. She doesn’t have her own place she lives with a friend the kids wouldn’t have their own room there. So if she get right do I get child support? What visitation right are she allowed?

In some states in this country there are statutes allowing grandparents visitation rights as to their grandchildren under certain circumstances. Visitation is different than custodial rights and one does not get child support for visitation issues.
I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about the issues you have written about so as to determine what recourse is available to you in the matter you are writing about.
