The Wisconsin Court of Appeals has clarified that when Wisconsin’s “special grandparent visitation provision” applies, petitioning grandparents need not show a “significant triggering event” occurred in order to seek visitation rights of a nonmarital grandchild.
You can see the details of the case here.
The case is one of many across the country where grandparents rights are winning small victories or losing small defeats due to the fact that there is no unified national standard for grandparents rights.This is due to the controversial Troxel decision of 2000.
Several recent state cases have gone against us, but there have been a few victories as well. The fight continues!
For more detailed information on the Troxel cases and it implications, as well as grandparents rights if you have to go to court and grandparents rights in general, see my recent book No Greater Loss.
