What would you do if you were told by your parent that you couldn’t pick up your kids?

My SO took his baby momma to court and won 50/50 custody of his kids. His mother was in court with us when the judge made the order.

His ex was mad, so instead of allowing him to pick up the kids from her home per the order, she took them to his mother’s house (she tries to say that counts as time with him 🙄) and told her she could keep them. When my SO found out they were over his moms, he told her he was on his way to pick them up. She told him NO, that he couldn’t pick them up; that their Mom left them in her care. She told him that if he wanted to see them, he had to come over there but that he couldn’t take them.

What would you have done at this point?

I told him to contact the Police for a Keep the Peace call and he did. You tell them the situation; show them the order and they help to enforce the court order. We met the police over there and picked up the kids without further incident but now his Mom is mad. She says he called the Police on his own mother and what type of man would do something like like and that she knows I’m the one who told him to do it. She says he’s pussy whipped and he can’t think for himself.

Yes I encouraged and help him sue his baby momma so he could see his kids. She’d withhold the kids when she was mad at him or me. After we got engaged she kept them from him for months literally. So now that can’t happen anymore. His mother was downing him for even taking the baby momma to court; saying black folks don’t need the court running their lives and he needs to just try to get along with the kids mother.

Yes I encouraged him to enlist the police with a Keep the Peace call to pick up his kids from his mother. I wouldn’t have done it if she would’ve followed the court order. Mind you, a keep the peace call isn’t calling the police on someone to have them arrested. It’s strictly to ensure there is peace; not turmoil.

So now his Mom hates me and she’s gotten others in his family to hate me too. My SO has been standing up for me with his family and it just makes his Mom hate me even more.

Seriously what would you have done? What could I have done that helped my SO while not making his Mom hate me?
