309 Ill. App.3d 888

243 Ill.Dec. 284

In re The Matter of Visitation With C.B.L., a Minor (A.B., Petitioner-Appellant, v. H.L., Respondent-Appellee).

Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, Fourth Division.

Rehearing Denied January 24, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Heather C. Sawyer, Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund, Inc., Rosemary S. Mulryan, Mulryan and York, Chicago, Bruce A. Boyer, Steven A. Drizin, Jonathan M. Kaden, Sr. Law Student, Northwestern University Legal Clinic, Chicago, for Appellant.

Leon I. Finkel & Jason G. Adess, Kalcheim, Schatz & Berger, Chicago, for Appellee.


Justice HOURIHANE delivered the opinion of the court:

Petitioner A.B. appeals from an order of the circuit court which dismissed her petition for visitation with minor C.B.L. for lack of standing. On appeal, petitioner contends she alleged facts sufficient to establish her standing, as a common law de facto parent or as an individual in loco parentis, to petition for visitation with C.B.L.

For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
