What it does

This bill relates to the awarding of joint physical care of children to parents awarded joint legal custody. The bill provides that if joint legal custody is awarded to both parents, a parent requests joint physical care, and both joint custodial parents agree to joint physical care, the court shall award joint physical care to both joint custodial parents unless the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that joint physical care is unreasonable and not in the best interest of the child.
