2010 Pennsylvania Code
Title 23 - DOMESTIC RELATIONS
Chapter 53 - Custody
5312 - When parents' marriage is dissolved or parents are separated.

     § 5312.  When parents' marriage is dissolved or parents are
                separated.
        In all proceedings for dissolution, subsequent to the
     commencement of the proceeding and continuing thereafter or when
     parents have been separated for six months or more, the court
     may, upon application of the parent or grandparent of a party,
     grant reasonable partial custody or visitation rights, or both,
     to the unmarried child if it finds that visitation rights or
     partial custody, or both, would be in the best interest of the
     child and would not interfere with the parent-child
     relationship. The court shall consider the amount of personal
     contact between the parents or grandparents of the party and the
     child prior to the application.

     5314 of this title.
