SB1531

Creates provisions relating to modifying child custody and visitation orders

Introduced·1/12/26

Missouri SB1531 modifies child custody and visitation orders, allowing for temporary orders during modification proceedings.

Missouri SB1531 creates provisions for modifying child custody and visitation orders. It allows courts to issue temporary orders during the pendency of a modification action, ensuring the child's best interests are considered. If parties agree on a modification, they can submit a signed parenting plan to the court. The court may enter an order based on this plan if it finds it to be in the child's best interest. The bill also allows for emergency orders without notice to opposing parties if necessary. Temporary parenting plans do not prejudice future hearings.
