AFFIRMED
William W. Wheeler, III, of Bishopville, for Appellant.
John D. Elliott, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Elouise Gardner appeals from the family courts denial of her request for visitation with her two grandsons. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220, SCACR, and the following authorities: S.C. Code Ann. § 20-7-420 (33) (Supp. 2004) (stating the family court has jurisdiction to order visitation for grandparents upon a written finding that the visitation rights would be in the best interests of the child and would not interfere with the parent/child relationship); Camburn v. Smith, 355 S.C. 574, 580, 586 S.E.2d 565, 568 (2003) (stating that where a parent is fit, before visitation can be awarded to a grandparent over the parents objection there must be evidence of compelling circumstances to overcome the presumption that the parental decision is in the childs best interests).
AFFIRMED.
ANDERSON, HUFF, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral arguments pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
