Overview
This bill requires a psychological examination for parents seeking to regain custody of a child currently in the care of a grandparent, provided the parents have lost custody due to reasons such as unfitness or neglect and their parental rights haven't been formally terminated. The examination is intended to assess the parent's suitability for custody before any changes are made to the child's care arrangement. This applies when the child is in the care of a grandparent and the parent has not had their parental rights officially removed by the court.
