CHILD CUSTODY – Amends existing law to establish provisions regarding supervised visitation.

This bill amends Idaho law to establish clearer rules for supervised visitation in child custody cases between parents. It requires courts to explain their reasons for ordering supervised visits, mandates regular reviews within 49 days, and sets a 90-day maximum interval for transitioning to unsupervised parenting time unless there is good cause. The legislation prioritizes unpaid providers chosen by the parents, requires background checks for paid providers including criminal and abuse registry screenings, and clarifies that supervised visitation cannot be used as punishment or a substitute for proving unfitness.
