HB2356

Kansas HB2356 modifies the evidentiary standard for awarding nonparent visitation rights.

Kansas HB2356 amends the Uniform Nonparent Visitation Act by changing the criteria for awarding visitation rights to nonparents. The bill specifies that a court may order visitation only if the nonparent proves that denying visitation would result in harm, the nonparent regularly exercised care of the child, and the nonparent established a bonded and dependent relationship with the child. The bill also repeals existing sections of the act.
