This bill would update Kentucky law to give courts a specific list of factors to consider when deciding whether grandparents should have visitation rights with their grandchildren. Currently, the law does not spell out those factors, so this change would give judges clearer guidance in making those decisions. Who it may affect: grandparents seeking visitation rights, parents, and children involved in family court proceedings.
