Visitation rights to a minor child modification

SF 2662 modifies Minnesota law to expand visitation rights for grandparents and great-grandparents of minor children. It allows these relatives to petition a court for reasonable visitation if they have a "substantial established relationship" with the child, defined by significant prior contact and parental consent/support. Courts must consider the child's best interests, including the benefit of maintaining that relationship, while ensuring visitation won't harm the parent-child bond. The bill also requires courts to consider mediation to resolve disputes and applies retroactively to cases since January 2022. This directly affects grandparents/great-grandparents seeking visitation and parents/courts handling such petitions.
