Iowa HF2575 allows courts to grant grandparent or great-grandparent visitation rights without requiring parental unfitness or impaired judgment.

Iowa HF2575 modifies the law to allow a court to grant visitation rights to a grandparent or great-grandparent if the child's parent is deceased. The bill removes the requirement that the surviving parent must be unfit or have impaired judgment for the court to consider such visitation. Instead, the court will determine if visitation is in the child's best interest and if the grandparent and child have a substantial established relationship. This change aims to provide more flexibility in granting visitation rights to grandparents and great-grandparents.
