Mother's Twin Sister Seeks Visitation Rights

Attorney David Allen considers a case in which an identical twin seeks visitation rights for her niece. Her twin sister died after she gave birth to a daughter. The effort by the aunt to obtain visitation rights was opposed by the little girl's father. The aunt argued that since Minnesota state law allowed courts to grant visitation rights to grandparents, it was logical the law should extend visitation rights to a twin sister. The father argued the statute should be literally construed. The case was finally resolved by the Minnesota Supreme Court.



David Allen is a practicing attorney with over 30 years of experience. He is admitted to the practice of law in multiple states and is attuned to the way in which the law varies from state to state. He wants everyone to know how the law can work for them. For nine years he hosted Law Talk, a live call-in show originating on KFBK, a 50,000 watt clear channel station which was the first 50,000 watt station west of the Mississippi. It is presently part of Clear Channel. He also provided weekly updates for the ABC Northern California Affiliate, KXTV.
