Prohibits New York courts from granting custody or visitation to non-U.S. residents when both parents are U.S. citizens and one objects.
New York law is amended to prevent courts from ordering custody or visitation for a U.S. citizen child to a non-U.S. resident if the other parent, also a U.S. citizen, objects. This applies to both visitation and custody orders. The law aims to protect U.S. citizen children and ensure safety, especially in cases involving domestic violence or child abuse.
