Illinois Grandparent’s Visitation Rights

It was not an abuse of discretion by the trial court, the Illinois Appellate Court held, to refuse to order Grandparent visitation when the parents of the children had not agreed to it. IRMO Ross

The court held that in view of the Wickham decision ( holding that the grandparent visitation pursuant to section 607(b) of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act to be uncomstitutional), there was no basis to permit the grandparents a right to petition fo rvisitation.
