Introduced
by
To revise the state law which allows siblings in child custody disputes to petition a court for sibling visitation, so that the law will comply with a recent ruling from the state Supreme Court in the case of DeRose v. DeRose. The court ruled that the current law excessively limits the authority of parents. The bill would place the burden of proof on a sibling to show that a parent's decision to not approve visitation is not in the child's best interest.
