Texas SB1830 regulates parental reunification therapy in suits affecting parent-child relationships.

Texas SB1830, known as the Safe Haven Act, amends the Family Code to regulate parental reunification therapy. It defines "parental reunification therapy" as any therapy intended to address a child's relationship with a parent. The court cannot require a child to participate without both parents' consent. Therapy cannot involve prohibiting contact with certain family members, overnight stays, or unsafe transportation. Therapy providers must have signed contracts detailing their processes. Parties to a suit can seek to vacate or modify orders that violate these provisions.
