This bill modifies legal custody of a child by allowing courts to award separate rights and responsibilities to each parent.

This bill amends the establishment or modification of legal custody of a child. It allows the court to award separate rights and responsibilities of joint legal custody to each parent if it is in the best interest of the child. The court must consider all relevant factors when resolving custody disputes. The bill also requires the court to determine if a proposed resolution will modify the established custodial environment of the child. If it will, the proposing parent must establish by clear and convincing evidence that the resolution is in the best interest of the child.
