This bill would have updated Kentucky law to give courts a specific list of factors to weigh when deciding whether to grant grandparents visitation rights with a grandchild. Currently, the law does not spell out those factors, so this change would have provided clearer guidance for family court judges handling these cases. Who it may affect: grandparents seeking visitation, parents, and children involved in family court proceedings.
