California Court of Appeal

Family Code section 3102, as applied to an order granting visitation to a minor child's paternal grandparents, unconstitutionally infringed on the fundamental rights of the mother, where the court failed to give deference to her view of the child's best interest and presumed that grandparent visitation was beneficial.
