[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Virginia, a grandparent has no rights whatsoever unless the grandchild is being abused or neglected and a Virginia court decides to confer rights. Grandparents have tried to litigate the issue and none has ever won. [/quote] In 1994, Sharon Bottoms lost custody of her son simply because she was a lesbian. Her mother (the grandmother) sued and won custody of the grandson. It was overturned on appeal and then the Virginia Supreme Court returned custody to the grandmother. There was no abuse or neglect by the mother. It's a sad chapter in gay lesbian parenting rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottoms_v._Bottoms[/quote]
