LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES: Requests the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children to study a parent's right to equal custodial periods with their child.
This legislative resolution asks the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children to study whether parents should be granted equal custody time with their children. The study would examine how to implement shared parenting arrangements while addressing concerns about parental harassment and referencing an existing program designed to help children reunify with alienated parents. To gather information, the committee is required to hear testimony from various state agencies and advocacy groups representing both parents and children. The committee must submit its findings and recommendations to the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate president by March 1, 2025.
