Be sure to check out James W. Cushing's latest article in "The Legal Intelligencer" - In the matter of McGure, et ux v. Lucchio v. Yeager, 1276 WDA 2025, the Pennsylvania Superior Court heard an appeal from a trial court decision granting preliminary objections resulting in the dismissal of a grandparents’ (“Grandparents”) complaint for partial custody. The Superior Court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal.

The Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed dismissal of grandparents' custody complaint, ruling that Section 5325(2) requires a current, pending custody proceeding between parents for grandparents to have standing—a prerequisite absent since the last custody matter concluded in 2022.
