Idaho S1395 amends child custody laws to establish a presumption of equal custody allocation, define joint custody, and clarify the role of de facto.
Idaho S1395 revises child custody laws to promote transparency, accountability, and timely judicial action. It establishes a presumption of equal custody allocation, meaning both parents should have nearly equal physical custody and equal legal custody unless there is a compelling reason otherwise. The bill defines joint custody, including joint physical and legal custody, and clarifies the role of de facto custodians, who can be granted custody rights similar to parents.
