Rose Deitelbaum Mimkon, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Donald Ford and Adele Ford, Defendants-Respondents

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the adoption statute does not override the grandparent visitation statute and reinstated the trial court's visitation order for the maternal grandmother. It remanded the case for a hearing to determine whether continued visitation serves the child's best interests under the discretion afforded by N.J.S.A. 9:2-7.1.
