New York S00513 aims to prioritize parental decisions in child custody and visitation cases, with grandparents needing to show extraordinary.
New York S00513 amends the domestic relations law to establish a strong presumption in favor of parental decisions regarding the care, custody, and control of their children. The bill mandates that the death of a parent be considered when evaluating a grandparent's eligibility for visitation or custody. It also requires that any petition for visitation or custody brought by a grandparent must detail specific reasons why denying visitation would harm the child.
