The paternal grandmother brought a motion to be added as a party to the continuing divorce action between the parents, where the father's access was the primary issue.
The grandmother had been supervising the father's access and argued she should be a party because her status as a supervisor was in dispute.
Both the mother and the father opposed the motion.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that being a supervisor is not a substantive right and that adding the grandmother would needlessly complicate the proceedings.
Costs of $1,000 were awarded to the mother.
