Description
This is an appeal from an order dismissing Mary Van Cleve's petition requesting the court to order visitation privileges with
her grandchildren. Van Cleve alleges that sec. 767.245(4), Stats., empowers the court to entertain a grandparent's petition
for visitation where no action affecting the family has previously been filed. We conclude that sec. 767.245(4) applies only
to situations involving a previously filed action affecting the family. We affirm the trial court's dismissal of Van Cleve's
petition. For the purposes of this opinion we assume the following facts alleged in Van Cleve's petition to be true. See Puttkammer
v. Minth, 83 Wis. 2d 686, 688, 266 N.W.2d 361, 363 (1972). Mary Van Cleve's daughter, Linda Hemminger, is married to Kurt
Hemminger. The Hemmingers reside at the same address and are the parents of two children. No prior action affecting the Hemminger
family has been filed. The Hemmingers refuse to allow Van Cleve to visit their children.
