Welcome to

The State Senate gave tentative approval to a bill today that presumes that divorcing parents are each entitled to a 50/50 custody split. Sponsor Tom Lee told Senators  the legislation is needed because under the current law, who gets all or partial custody is up to the whim of the presiding judge.

“I believe that we are getting disparate outcomes all over this state, depending on whether you have a liberal judge, or a conservative judge. whether you have an old school judge or a new school judge. Whether you are in an urban area or whether you’re in a rural area” says Lee.

Lee was questioned whether the presumption would preclude kids being kept from violent parents. He said it would not.
