AN ACT relating to grandparent visitation.

Summary

The bill allows Kentucky circuit courts to grant reasonable visitation rights to a child’s paternal or maternal grandparents if clear and convincing evidence shows compelling factors and that visitation benefits the child. It sets out specific factors courts must weigh, creates a presumption of visitation when a parent is deceased, and links visitation rights to a grandparent’s child‑support responsibilities. The changes also affect temporary custody cases and require courts to consider other grandparents for visitation when one grandparent gains custody.
