What’s in it

This bill relates to the granting of grandparent and great-grandparent visitation. The bill provides an additional circumstance under which a grandparent or great-grandparent may petition for visitation. Under the bill, in addition to the situation in which the parent of the minor child, who is the child of the grandparent or the grandchild of the great-grandparent, is deceased, a grandparent or great-grandparent may petition for visitation if the parents of the minor child are divorced or were never married and the parent who is not the child of the grandparent or the grandchild of the great-grandparent has sole custody of the minor child.
