Conlogue v. Conlogue
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided February 9, 2006PublishedCited by 40 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtDana, J.
[¶ 1] Herschel and Jane Conlogue appeal from a judgment entered in the District Court (Houlton, O’M am, J.) dismissing their petition under section 1803 of the Grandparents Visitation Act, 19-A M.R.S. §§ 1801-1805 (2005). 1 They argue that the court erred (1) in concluding that the Act’s grant of standing to grandparents when one parent has died, id. § 1803(1)(A), is unconstitutional; and (2) in its award of costs, including attorney fees, to Patricia Conlogue. We affirm the court’s dismissal of the petition on due process grounds, but we vacate the award of costs and fees.
