No. 4108.

369 S.C. 585 (2006)

633 S.E.2d 162

Kenneth MIDDLETON, Appellant, v. Elizabeth Ann JOHNSON and Eugene Hollington, Respondents.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided April 24, 2006.

Revised June 28, 2006.

Rehearing Denied July 5, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daphne A. Burns, of Mt. Pleasant, and Margaret D. Fabri, of Charleston, for Appellant.

Elizabeth Johnson McCants, of Florence, and Eugene Hollington, of Warner-Robbins, GA, no appearance.


HEARN, C.J.:

Kenneth Middleton appeals from an order of the family court denying him visitation with Joshua Hollington, a minor child. Although Middleton admits he is not biologically related to Josh, he argues he is entitled to visitation because he served as Josh's "psychological parent" for ten years and because visitation is in Josh's best interest. We reverse and remand.
