We currently have legal guardianship of our 5 year old grandson. We have had him with since August of 2002. Both parents were incarcerated. He is our sons child. His mother was released from prison in November and has petitioned the court to get him back. We are working on reuniting them on weekend visits and such and have set a tentative time of June when school is out for him to return to her. Our attorney has asked that after that we have visitation one weekend a month after that. My question is if she agrees with that and then refuses to to abide by it after she gets him back what would happen to her. Would we have to go back to court, could she get in trouble for not abiding by her agreement?

My response:

If the agreement is signed by a judge, making it a court order, then yes, she'd be in deep poo-poo, making it very likely she'd lose custody once again.
