What’s in it

This bill provides that if a parent violates a visitation order or parenting plan and the violation results in disruption of the court-ordered visitation or parenting plan schedule, the violation shall be considered a factor in determining the best interest of the child in any modification proceeding if the parent’s decision not to comply was unilateral, the circumstances did not involve an emergency, and no reasonable attempt was made by the parent prior to the noncompliance to reschedule time with the other parent. An established pattern of violations involving a visitation order or parenting plan is considered a substantial change in circumstances and grounds for modification.
