1Opinion of the Court

BARNES, Judge.

Summary

[1] Amy Brown appeals the trial court’s order granting visitation with Brown’s daughter, S.B., to Adrian Luns-ford, Brown’s former boyfriend, who is unrelated to S.B. We reverse.

Issues

[2] Brown presents three issues for our review, which we restate as:

I. whether the trial court had “jurisdiction” to order visitation between Lunsford and S.B.;

II. whether Lunsford should have joined S.B. as a necessary party in the paternity action involving the parties’ child A.L.; and

III. whether the trial court abused its discretion by ordering visitation between S.B. and Lunsford.
