5 Cards On This Topic:

Siblings may visit when parent is deceased or following adoption by stepparent or grandparent.

Wash. statute which allows any person to petition for visitation is overbroad, unconstitutionally infringing on fundamental right of parents to rear their children.

Visitation may not be granted to non-parent if both parents object absent clear and convincing evidence denial of visitation would be detrimental to child.

Visitation rights may be awarded to nonrelated person in guardianship.

Former Civil Code section 4601 did not give court jurisdiction to award visitation rights to nonparents in nondissolution proceedings.
