Re: visitation

A Kentucky statute (KRS 405.021) grants grandparents visitation rights. Nevertheless, some Kentucky courts have used the "best interests of the child" standard to limit or even deny such visitation.

You would be well advised to obtain the services of a Kentucky lawyer with some Family Law experience immediately.

You can get a referral to a Kentucky Family Law attorney by reaching the Kentucky Bar Association by telephone or on the internet. Good Luck!
