Bazen v. Bazen

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court upheld the family court’s grant of grandparent visitation under S.C. Code §63‑3‑530(A)(33) but modified the visitation schedule to accommodate the mother’s reasonable limitations. It held the statute constitutional, found the grandparents satisfied the first three statutory elements, and identified the mother’s deceptive conduct as a compelling circumstance justifying limited visitation.
