Modifies provisions relating to visitation rights of grandparents

HB 3433 modifies Missouri law to allow grandparents to seek court-ordered visitation with a grandchild in four specific situations: during divorce proceedings, after one parent's death, when parents were never married, or when the child lived with the grandparent for six months in the past two years. The bill requires that visitation must have been denied for over 60 days and that the court must determine visitation is in the child's best interests before granting it. The court may appoint a guardian ad litem for the child and order a home study to assess the child's best interests, and the grandparent's right ends if the child is adopted. The bill also allows courts to award attorney fees to the prevailing party in such cases.
