Abstract: This publication reports on a hearing held by a subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the subject of grandparents' visitation rights. The hearing expressed the sense of the Congress that a uniform state act should be developed and adopted which provides grandparents with adequate rights to petition state courts for privileges to visit their grandchildren following the dissolution (because of divorce, separation, or death) of the marriage of such grandchildren's parents.
