Children have the right to maintain personal relations with their ascendants. Only the interests of the child may prevent the exercise of this right.
If it is in the child’s interests, the family court judge shall determine the terms and conditions of relations between the child and a third party, whether a parent or not, in particular where that third party has resided on a stable basis with the child and one of the child’s parents, has provided for the child’s education, maintenance or installation, and has established lasting emotional ties with the child.
