Glueckert v. Glueckert
Annotate this CaseMother and Father had a son. Plaintiffs in this case were the child’s paternal grandparents (“Grandparents”). When Mother and Father separated, the child began living with Mother. Grandparents filed a petition under Mont. Code Ann. 40-9-102 seeking unsupervised visits with their grandson. Mother objected to any additional visitation beyond the contact she had provided. The district court granted Mother’s motion for summary judgment, concluding that Mother was a fit parent and that Grandparents needed to establish “substantially more” to overcome the statutory presumption in favor of supporting Mother’s wishes. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court properly applied Mont. Code Ann. 40-9-102 in denying Grandparents’ petition for extended contact with their grandson.
