Finberg v. Manset (2014) 228 Cal.App.4th 529
Jan 28, 2014OUTCOME: Prevailed
Grandparent filed a petition for visitation with her biological grandchild, to which the child's biological mother and adoptive father objected. The Santa Barbara Superior Court summarily dismissed Gr ... andparent's visitation petition, on the ground that Family Code Section 3104, subdivision (b)(5) is "unconstitutional" and in violation of the equal protection clause of the state and federal constitutions. In a matter of first impression, the California Court of Appeal for the Second District reversed the trial court's dismissal and upheld the law's constitutionality.
