FACTS:

Re: Michelle Smith grandparent visitation  

Here are the facts for the research plan project:  

Michelle and Tom Harbin have just come into our office seeking some legal advice.  It seems that they have two grandchildren that they would like to visit and have not been able to for about six months now. The grandchildren are the children of their deceased son Troy. 

Troy was killed in a car accident about one year ago. Before the accident he had been living with his girlfriend Becky Smith for about 10 years. They had 2 children together, a boy named Sam, who is 5, and a girl named Lola, who is now 2.  Before Troy died, Michelle and Tom had a very close relationship with the two children, and would babysit them on numerous occasions.  Michelle and Tom would even keep the children overnight, so Troy and Becky could go out of town. 

After the accident, Becky continued to allow Michelle and Tom to visit with the children.  They even watched them during the week, so she could go back to work.  However, about six months ago Becky met another man and is now getting married.  He also has two children of his own.  After she met her new fiancé, she abruptly stopped letting the Harbins see their grandchildren.  She did not explain anything to Michelle and Tom. 

After a few phone calls, Michelle and Tom found out Becky is planning on moving once she gets married. She currently resides in Oregon, but plans to move to Indiana.
