ROME- Italy's Court of Cassation has ruled that grandchildren can not be forced to see their grandparents, especially children who are capable of ‘discernment’ or who are older than 12.
The ruling comes after a particularly intense and complicated case concerning a family where the relationship between the parents of the children and the grandparents was deeply strained, and where the paternal grandparents had appealed to the court for visiting rights to see their grandchildren.
