Former Live in Girlfriend of Child’s Mother Lacked Standing to Seek Visitation with Child

In the case of Damon v. York, et al, the Virginia Court of Appeals, in a published opinion, held that a former live in girlfriend of the child’s mother was not a person with a legitimate interest under Code § 20-124.1 for purposes of obtaining court-ordered visitation.  The former live in girlfriend sought court ordered visitation against the wishes of the biological parents of the child and against the wishes of the child.
