Illinois Supreme Court November 18, 2004, 97537 Rel (Johnson v. Duncan)

JUSTICE RARICK

delivered the opinion of the court:

At issue in this case is whether Wickham v. Byrne, 199 Ill. 2d 309 (2002), which declared Illinois’ grandparent visitation statute to be unconstitutional, invalidated a preexisting agreement approved by the circuit court of Peoria County granting visitation rights to a child’s grandparents. The circuit court held that it did not.
