Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

We have a criminal case going on against my daughters uncle who is also my brother for molestation of my daughter. My mother is a defense witness can she still go after me for grandparents rights? I live in Kentucky and she is in Missouri. What legal action can she if any take after me for rights/visitation?
