Provides that if an order has been entered limiting a minor child's contact or visitation with a grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling, that order may be modified only upon a showing of a substantial change in circumstances occurring subsequent to the entry of the order with proof by clear and convincing evidence that modification is in the best interest of the minor child.
