Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama March 16, 2001, 2000190 (S.D.S. v. T.R.S.)

MURDOCK, Judge.

This mandamus proceeding arises out of a grandparent-visitation matter. The Eto-wah County Circuit Court entered a final judgment divorcing T.R.S. (“the mother”) and S.D.S. (“the father”) and awarding sole custody of the parties’ child to the mother. R.S. and M.S., the child’s paternal grandparents (“the grandparents”), then filed a petition, pursuant to Ala.Code 1975, § 30-3-4.
