Bill overview
This bill aims to establish a presumption that equal parenting time is in the best interests of a child when both parents are considered fit and reside within a reasonable distance of the child’s school. It modifies existing statutes to clarify factors courts should consider when determining legal decision-making and parenting time, including the child’s wishes, parental cooperation, and the potential for domestic violence. The bill also updates rules regarding relocation of a child to ensure continued access for both parents, while prioritizing the child’s well-being.
