Contact of the child with other persons to whom it relates

(1) Grandparents and siblings have a right of contact with the child if this serves the best interests of the child.

(2) The same applies to persons to whom the child relates closely if these have or have had actual responsibility for the child (social and family relationship). It is in general to be assumed that actual responsibility has been taken on if the person has been living for a long period in domestic community with the child.

(3) Section 1684 (2) to (4) applies accordingly. The family court may only order access custodianship in accordance with section 1684 (3) sentences 3 to 5 if the prerequisites of section 1666 (1) are met.
