Anthony's Legacy Act modifies grandparent visitation rights, giving special consideration to Gold Star family members.
Anthony's Legacy Act amends New Jersey law to modify the circumstances under which a grandparent may apply for visitation rights. The act requires courts to give special consideration to grandparents who are Gold Star family members, defined as relatives of deceased service members who died in the line of duty. The court must consider several factors in its decision, including the relationship between the child and the applicant, the time since the child last had contact with the applicant, and the effect of visitation on the child's relationship with their parents.
