In re Visitation of C.S.N., the Indiana Court of Appeals decided paternal grandparents were not entitled to visitation where a mother was a fit parent.
By Laura W. Morgan, Family Law Consultant
Paternal grandparents were not entitled to grant of petition seeking visitation with child, where mother was a fit parent presumed to act in child’s best interests, mother’s decision to stop visitation was based on a rational concern, grandparents had not been denied a relationship with child but were, rather, seeking overnight visitation against mother’s wishes, and mother acknowledged that child should continue to have a relationship with grandparents.
