In June 2000 the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark third-party visitation decision, Troxel v. Granville, a Washington state case holding that state statutes regarding who—other than parents-- can get court-ordered visitation rights had to defer to parents’ wishes. It’s been a discussion since.
FindLaw columnist & Hofstra law professor Joanna Grossman this morning looks at the way state supreme courts have been doing that—including the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision last Oct. 10th. in Harrold v. Collier. The article links to both cases, and Collier was briefed in the daily summaries on our website when it was issued.
Ohio’s child custody statutes are ORC § 3109.11 and 3109.12, Kentucky’s pertinent statutes are KRS §403.320 and 405.021 ; and Indiana’s are Ind. Code 31-14-14 and 31-17-5.
