Grandparent Visitation
HB 121 revises the legal criteria grandparents must meet to petition a court for visitation with a minor child. It directly affects grandparents seeking court-ordered visitation rights when parents are divorced, separated, or deceased. The bill changes the specific requirements a grandparent must satisfy to file such a petition, though the abstract does not detail the exact revised criteria. This is a substantive change to the existing legal process for grandparent visitation requests.
