Florida S0516 aims to protect children in domestic violence centers by preventing their removal from safe placements.

Florida S0516 modifies child custody laws to ensure children in domestic violence centers are not removed from safe placements. It prohibits the Department of Children and Families from deeming a home study unfavorable solely due to a parent or custodian residing in a certified domestic violence center. If a child and their custodian or parent are in such a center, the child cannot be removed from the placement if the custodian notifies the department within 24 hours and the center affirms the placement's appropriateness.
