New Jersey A5309 establishes compensatory parenting time for parents whose court-ordered time was lost due to unsubstantiated investigations.
New Jersey A5309 mandates that courts grant additional parenting time to compensate for lost time due to unsubstantiated investigations into child abuse, neglect, or other issues. The additional parenting time must match the type and duration of the lost time and can include weekday, weekend, holiday, and summer periods. The parent denied time can choose the dates for the compensatory time, which must occur within two years of the court's determination. The bill also ensures that its provisions do not impose liability on investigative agencies or governmental entities in civil actions.
