Sheehy v. Sheehy, 325 So. 2d 12

PER CURIAM.

Appellant-mother, having been awarded permanent child custody by a final judgment of dissolution of marriage, appeals from a modification of that judgment which awards certain visitation rights to the paternal grandparents. We reverse.

An order granting visitation rights to a non-parent of a child whose custody has been awarded to a fit parent is unjustified and unenforceable.¹ In view whereof, the order appealed from is, in this regard, reversed. In all other respects it is affirmed.

McNULTY, C.J., and BOARDMAN and GRIMES, JJ., concur.
