Encouraging shared parental responsibility in child custody arrangements.

Summary

  • Changes are made to the dissolution of marriage and legal separation law to define shared parental responsibility and shared residential placement and to establish a presumption in favor of shared residential placement. The factors to be considered in making residential schedule decisions are only to be considered when the presumption is not in the best interests of the child.
