Oral Argument 5/12/2022

Highlight

A court’s determination that a nonparent did not establish a prima facie case to support an award of nonparent visitation is reviewed de novo.

If the nonparent fails to plead a prima facie case that the nonparent “[i]s a consistent caretaker; or . . . [h]as a substantial relationship with the child and denial of custody or visitation would result in harm to the child,” a court shall dismiss the petition for nonparent visitation.
