Idaho H0859 amends existing law to mandate restoration of lost parenting time when a parent's custody is restricted due to unsubstantiated abuse.

Idaho H0859 adds to existing law by requiring courts to order restoration of lost parenting time if a parent's custody is restricted, suspended, or supervised due to an unsubstantiated abuse allegation. The court must create a restoration plan that minimizes disruption and ensures prompt recovery of equivalent parenting time. If a parent knowingly denies court-ordered custody or parenting time without lawful justification, the court must award compensatory parenting time. This act takes effect on January 1, 2027.
