As Bayda, C.J.S., speaking for the court said in Gulash v. Gulash, September 16th, 1981: Indeed, in the matter of access, while parental rights are not to be overlooked but given their rightful place, the children’s welfare is to be given paramount consideration. No evidence, expert or otherwise, to speak of, was adduced on the question of the children’s welfare.
