2010 WI App 23, 323 Wis. 2d 510, 780 N.W.2d 159 (WI Ct. App., 2010)

Summary

Trial court did not misuse its discretion in order visitation for grandparents where their daughter had died. There is not a difference between the quantity of “visitation” and the quantity of “physical placement”. Both are situations where the children go out of the custodial home. No equal protection violation by treating parents with a deceased spouse different from parents in an intact family.
