Massachusetts H2002 amends parental visitation and custody laws for children conceived in rape.
Massachusetts H2002 changes the law to prevent courts from granting visitation rights to a parent convicted of rape if they seek visitation with the child conceived during the rape. This change applies unless the child, once they turn 18 or are legally emancipated, files for visitation or custody. The bill targets specific sections of the General Laws related to rape convictions.
