Re: visitation rights
You indiacte this as a Florida and/or Indiana case but your rendition does not give the facts concerning this issue. I cannot tell you anything about Florida law. I know of no right of a siblingto enforce visitation of step-brothers or sisters. However there are provisions in Indiana law for a grandparent to obtain a court order for visitation. If they are willing to exercise this right you would be able to visit during their visitation times. However, this would depend upon a court in Indiana having jurisdiction over the mother in order to obtain such an order.
