For legislation to provide visitation rights for great grandparents. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 119 of the 2014 General Laws to provide visitation rights for great-grandparents of unmarried minor children in specific situations, such as when the parents are divorced, living apart, or deceased, or when the child was born out of wedlock. The bill outlines the criteria for granting such visitation rights, which must be in the best interest of the minor child, and specifies that the petition should be filed in the county where the relevant legal proceedings (divorce, separate support, or paternity) took place, or where the child currently resides.
