Enacts the Family Sovereignty Act to protect parental rights and limit non-parent custody petitions.
The Family Sovereignty Act prohibits awarding custody of a child to a non-parent when the child's parents are married and maintaining a family unit. It limits who may file a complaint alleging abuse, neglect, or dependency. Courts must safeguard the family unit when parents are married and living together. The act also prevents courts from issuing temporary orders modifying parental rights during active military service and requires courts to consider certain factors when allocating parental rights and responsibilities.
