HB4499

Establishes a civil cause of action for parents and children to recover damages for tortious interference with their relationship.

The Tortious Interference with Parent-Child Relationship Act creates a statutory civil cause of action for parents and children to recover damages for interference with their relationship. This includes situations where a third party's tortious conduct causes injury to a child or parent, prevents the formation of a parent-child relationship, or otherwise unreasonably harms the relationship. Recoverable damages include loss of society, companionship, consortium, the parent-child relationship, emotional distress, mental anguish, and economic loss.
