Iowa HF932 establishes requirements for a parent to obtain joint physical custody of a child.

Iowa HF932 amends the Code to set requirements for a parent to obtain joint physical custody of a child. If joint legal custody is awarded, the court may award joint physical care upon request. The court may require the parent not awarded physical care to meet specific conditions. If joint physical care is denied, the court must list the requirements the parent must meet. The bill also mandates a proposed joint physical care parenting plan and prohibits the parent awarded physical care from impeding the other parent's fulfillment of requirements.
