Kentucky's high court rules for tougher grandparent visitation rules. The State Supreme Court says parents who don't want a grandparent to visit their grandchildren must be presumed to be acting in the child's best interests. The ruling does not strike down Kentucky's 1984 law, which grants "reasonable visitation rights," if it's determined to be in the best interest of the child. However, it does require grandparents to show clear and convincing evidence that the contact is in the interest of the child.
