Does a party who consents to a court's order for grandparent visitation have a right to challenge the order?

Daniel now represented by counsel contends that allowing grandparent visitation violated his fundamental constitutional rights as a parent, as declared in Troxel v. Granville (2000) 530 U.S. 57.

Daniel forfeited this contention by consenting to the trial court's order. It is true that, in one of his responsive declarations, he said, "If this [o]rder is granted visitation goes against my parental authority and constitutional right as a parent." But despite this objection, at trial, he agreed with all of the trial court's proposals. "'It is well-settled law in California that a party cannot object to a judgment, order, or ruling consented to by him. [Citations.] This court will not disturb an order or judgment on an appeal taken by a party who consented thereto. [Citation.]'" (Wilson v. City of Los Angeles (1958) 156 Cal.App.2d 776, 777-778.)
