In the Matter of Hunter H. — Workman, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Summary

Justice Workman concurs with the majority that visitation by the maternal grandmother should be denied, but dissents from the majority’s reasoning, arguing that West Virginia case law establishes a child’s right to continued association with individuals who have formed a strong emotional bond, even after adoption by non‑relatives, and that the majority ignored this doctrine.
