Establishes procedures for temporary custody orders with a presumption of equal parenting time.
This bill amends the domestic relations law to establish procedures for temporary custody orders, including a rebuttable presumption that parents shall have temporary joint legal and shared physical custody with equal parenting time. If parents cannot agree on a parenting schedule, the court must create one that maximizes each parent's time with the child. The order must include specific findings and conclusions and address how the child will transfer between parents. Modification of the order can be sought if there is a material and substantial change in circumstances.
