SHE.. will not have any contact..you can only help people who will allow you to help...The house is his house..she has never contributed too it....he needs to work from home...to provide a income to help support there son....Now if he cant work..he cant provide...
Suppose the ex is entitled to a work free life with a good staned of living cuz she gave birth...A story in the Paper comes to mind..
What work is he going to do from home, is it legal this time?
You are way too biased to deal with this impartially. I would suggest that, given his atrocious past and her poor choices, you contact social services and let them deal with it. The child is the important person here, not your son and his precious house.0 -

So you called the police and told them (I'm paraphrasing, but you should see that it's correct) "I intend to create a breach of the peace, please come and tell the other party to stop making a fuss" - then expected them to do anything other than tell you not to cause it in the first place?
As I and others have pointed out to you; the police have zero involvement in civil matters until a court warrant is issued. The police are not trained in civil law (that's what lawyers study upwards of 5 years for!) and so cannot make any judgement or take any action regarding who is right or wrong in such an instance. Hats for a court to decide, and if the appropriate paperwork is issued then court bailiffs can be sent to carry out a warrant, which may include instruction for the police to assist.
I believe this is what would happen if you were caught breaking into the property: you would be arrested initially until the matter could be correctly decided by the appropriate legal process; and (assuming what you say is indeed correct and the whole story) you could be exonerated and have a court confirm your right to possession.
I'm not a lawyer or police officer so I may be wrong...
Should you attempt it, expect something along these lines to happen;

You know, there are some truly horrible people that reside on this website. Saintly people who seemingly have never made a single mistake in their lives.
Good luck OP.0 -
Could it be that you are actually aggravating the situation?
If there old enough to have a baby really they should be old enough to sort these sort of issues out without your involvement.
I know it's your grandson and son, but, granny's can try to get too involved. I don't believe you have particularly any concern for your grandson, it's all about your son getting his way.
If I was her and I had made the mistake of having a baby with a drug cultivator who ended up in prison, I think I would want to detach myself from him and his family too. Especially if the fathers mum seems to thing all is fine now and she should just agree to whatever your son wants.
If you know she's with someone else, which I think sounds more like hearsay than actual proof, it's pretty clear that she has moved on from your son.
I can't help but ask you to contact social services who will have the child's welfare at the forefront of their minds. It sounds like the poor child has been put last on the list, below drugs, feuds, interfering grandmothers and a confused mother.0 -
OP you don't know what was in the Dear John letter nor I'm presuming did you know about your son's drug life.
Perhaps you should keep out of all this house fighting as I think there's more to this story that you don't know.It's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0 -
No i think the OP knows the whole story.
What she wants is the GF out of the property.
She wants the police there before hand as her son will be out on tag & any disturbance will result in him getting locked up PDQ.
The GF knows if she kicks off he'll go back inside.
Finger pointing (oh look it's her fault not mine) & manipulation of the police force at it's worst.Autism Mum Survival Kit: Duct tape, Polyfilla, WD40, Batteries (lots of),various chargers, vats of coffee, bacon & wine.0
