Need to get this out before I explode. Got a phone call from the visitation center today and someone from the work release center had called on his behalf to request that his parents pick up the kids for his visitation weekend; he had called the court to check and the court order had not been changed (totally my fault - should have tried to get it changed) so he still had his visitation. V wanted to know if I knew anything about this and I said no, this was the first I had heard of it. She said she was going to tell them it was her understanding that only X could pick up the kids from the center so the answer was no. I told her I was totally fine with this and I am, but even though I knew this was coming, I am sick, just sick. Anyways, after we hung up I asked an atty here to read over my order to see if that was true, and then I called her back to ask her if she had already called them back, which she hadn't, so I told her what I was doing and that could she wait til the weekend to call them back, and she said yes. The atty said she was correct, only X could pick them up. Here is what I'm thinking my plan of action is going to be:
1. Tell her that a) if the grandparents are picking up the kids for visitation with X, they need to provide more information as he is incarcerated - at the work release center (not going to happen), is he on furlough..what is the plan? b)if the grandparents want to see the kids without X, I can meet them at the local park with the girls and supervise the visitation.
2. Get an attorney because I am not going back to court without one - however problem, we are so broke. NG has been laid off for a while and we are struggling to pay bills. He is supposed to go back to work June 4 so things will get better but X's parole hearing is in Aug so I have to get something done before then - at court, I'm going to ask for a guardian ad litem for the girls, a psych eval, counseling, and drug testing
For anyone who doesn't know the history between X and I - he is bad news - was abusive to me physically and mentally (conviction for domestic violence), numerous domestic violence petitions filed against him by 4 different people including his own mother, does drugs, tries to emotionally damage the girls by telling them I don't love them, I love one more than the other, that I'm a bad mother, etc., doesn't pay child support, just a total all around loser I met in my 20's and became the typical battered woman who was afraid to leave. This man does not deserve visitation - he's poison.

Gah! That sounds like a pain. I hope that they'll front up some information for you so you'll know what's really going on.
Hopefully it works out for you... doesn't sound like being around him has done anybody any good...
