DISCLAIMER - This answer is not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed. The information provided is for educational purposes only. For specific advice regarding your situation, please consult a qualified attorney in your area.

In Kentucky, grandparents may petition the court for visitation. The court will award visitation if it is in the "best interests of the child". Chapter 405, Section 021 (KRS §405.021).

To determine what is in the best interests of the child, the court considers the following: (1) wishes of parents and child; (2) interaction and interrelationship between child and parents, siblings and other significant persons; (3) child's adjustment to home, school and community; and (4) mental and physical condition of all persons involved. KRS §405.020 et seq. and §403 et seq.
