Josef Alkatout comments in the *Tribune de Genève* on a ruling by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court regarding the visitation rights of an “intended parent” with respect to children born into same-sex families.

In summary:

• Children of separated parents have the right to be informed about the circumstances of their early years.
• The visitation rights of the “intended parent,” who has no genetic connection to the child, are generally interpreted in the child’s best interest.
• The present case involving a former lesbian couple is being remanded to the cantonal court for the second time so that its decision can be corrected.
