Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling the magistrate's decision to grant visitation to child's maternal grandmother. The magistrate did not give special weight and sufficient deference to mother's wishes and concerns regarding the child's having visitation with the maternal grandmother. Mother was entitled to the presumption that she acted in the best interest of her child, and grandmother did not satisfy her burden to prove that her visitation request was in the best interest of the child. The trial court did not clearly lose its way and create a manifest miscarriage of justice in reaching its decision. Judgment affirmed.
