If the grandparent fails to present such evidence to the court, then parental opposition alone is sufficient to deny the grandparent visitation,? says a 2012 Kentucky Supreme Court opinion in Walker v Blair.

To obtain visitation, grandparents must show that it is in the grandchild's best interests. They may request visitation rights with the court before or after divorce, separation, or the death of one of the child's parents.

A child cannot refuse to visit a non-custodial parent when there is a custody agreement in place that awards visitation rights. The child's custodial parent can petition the court to modify the custody agreement but there's no guarantee the court will agree. The court considers what is in the child's best interests.

The court can't deny a parent visitation, except after a hearing. Typically, judges only suspend or deny visitation if the court finds, based on testimony and evidence, that visitation would seriously endanger the child's physical, mental, moral or emotional health.

The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
