Legislative Council's Study Committee on Child Placement and Support.
Under current law, a court must set a physical placement schedule that allows a
child to have regularly occurring, meaningful periods of physical placement and that
maximizes the amount of time for a child with each parent. The bill adds a statement
among the general provisions for custody and placement that any allocation of physical
placement, as ordered by the court, presumes that the involvement and cooperation of
both parents regarding the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the child is in
the best interest of the child.
