Court may grant right of visitation to any person.
The Superior Court may grant the right of visitation with respect
to any minor child or children to any person, upon an application of such
person. Such order shall be according to the court's best judgment upon
the facts of the case and subject to such conditions and limitations as
it deems equitable, provided the grant of such visitation rights shall
not be contingent upon any order of financial support by the court. In
making, modifying or terminating such an order, the court shall be guided
by the best interest of the child, giving consideration to the wishes of
such child if he is of sufficient age and capable of forming an intelligent
opinion. Visitation rights granted in accordance with this section shall
not be deemed to have created parental rights in the person or persons
to whom such visitation rights are granted. The grant of such visitation
rights shall not prevent any court of competent jurisdiction from thereafter
acting upon the custody of such child, the parental rights with respect
to such child or the adoption of such child and any such court may include
in its decree an order terminating such visitation rights.
