Bill > HF2780

This bill amends the grandparent visitation rights under Minnesota law. Specifically, it removes the requirement that grandparent visitation must not interfere with the parent-child relationship. The bill also allows grandparents to petition the court for visitation rights if the child has an established relationship with the grandparent, even if the child did not previously reside with the grandparent for 12 months or more. Additionally, the bill repeals a provision that required the court to find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that grandparent visitation would interfere with the parent-child relationship before denying visitation rights. Overall, this bill expands grandparent visitation rights in Minnesota.
