California SB1364 amends the Family Code to enhance child safety in custody decisions. It mandates courts to consider a parent's history of abuse and criminal convictions, particularly sexual assault, when determining custody. If a parent has been convicted of sexual assault and the child was conceived as a result, or born within 300 days after the assault, the court must presume this parent unfit unless shared parenting is voluntarily agreed upon. The bill also restricts custody and visitation rights for those convicted of serious crimes against the child or other parent.
