Third-Party Rights

This is the ability of a non-parent to request legal decision-making, placement, or visitation of/with a child. Despite the term including the word “rights,” third parties actually have no legal rights to a child. Because parents have a Constitutional right to the care, custody, and control of their children, they have a big advantage in most of these proceedings.
