Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

Re: grandparents &sibling visitation rights

Hello. Technically, under the circumstances which you have described, maternal grandparents

do not have a right to visitation, in my opinion.

However, I am of the opinion that the matter should be brought to court and that the maternal

grandparents should then seek visitation. This

will be a very technical court process. I hope

my answer has been helpful and I will be happy

to answer any additional questions that you

may have. I believe that a judge would consider

it in the child's best interest to see his/her

maternal grandparents on a regular basis.
