620.027 District Court's concurrent jurisdiction for child custody and visitation in
permanent placement cases.
The District Court has jurisdiction, concurrent with that of the Circuit Court, to determine
matters of child custody and visitation in cases that come before the District Court where
the need for a permanent placement and custody order is established as set forth in this
chapter. The District Court, in making these determinations, shall utilize the provisions of
KRS Chapter 403 relating to child custody and visitation. In any case where the child is
actually residing with a grandparent in a stable relationship, the court may recognize the
grandparent as having the same standing as a parent for evaluating what custody
arrangements are in the best interest of the child.
