KRS 405.028: Custody, visitation, and inheritance rights denied parent convicted of a

felony sexual offense from which victim delivered a child -- Waiver -- Child

support obligation.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who has been

convicted of a felony offense under KRS Chapter 510, or a comparable offense

from another jurisdiction, in which the victim of that offense has conceived and

delivered a child, shall not have custody or visitation rights, or the right of

inheritance under KRS Chapter 391 with respect to that child.

(2) The adult mother of the child may waive the protection afforded under subsection

(1) of this section regarding visitation and request that the court grant reasonable

visitation rights with the child if paternity has been acknowledged.

(3) Unless waived by the mother, or a guardian of a minor mother or a de facto

custodian of the child in the case of a minor mother, and, if applicable, the public

agency substantially contributing to the support of the child, a court shall establish a

child support obligation against the father of the child pursuant to KRS 403.211. As

used in this subsection, "de facto custodian" has the same meaning as in KRS

403.270.
