Changes to Pennsylvania custody laws proposed
A bill changing Pennsylvania child custody laws passed in the state house yesterday with an unanimous vote, and is now on its way to the senate.
Pennsylvania lawmakers say this bill addresses several issues that have long frustrated Pennsylvania families. The proposed legislation prevents judges from awarding custody based on gender. Courts also have to disclose their reasons for awarding custody to one party. Grandparents will have more rights and there is stronger recourse against parents violating custody agreements. The reforms aim to make court hearings less contentious, and have a stronger focus on what's best for the children.
