SB 1325 - This act modifies the law regarding visitation rights for grandparents.
New language specifies that grandparents have the right to file a motion for modification of a dissolution decree to seek visitation rights when:
-visitation has been denied to them; or
-there is only one surviving parent and they deny reasonable visitation to the grandparents; or
-the child has resided in the grandparent's home for at least six months within the year that the petition was filed; and
-they are unreasonably denied visitation for longer than
ninety days.
