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, reinstated the trial court's limited visitation order for the grandmother, and remanded for a hearing on the child's best interests. Justice Clifford dissented, arguing the statutes should not apply, while Justice Sullivan concurred in part, emphasizing the need to reassess the child's best interests.
