CaliforniaConsideration when determining child custody: human trafficking.
What it does
Existing law governs the determination of child custody and visitation in contested proceedings. Under existing law, upon a finding by the court that a party seeking custody of a child has perpetrated domestic violence against the child, the other party seeking custody of the child, or others, as specified, there is a rebuttable presumption that granting custody to the party who perpetrated domestic violence is detrimental to the best interest of the child. Under existing law, this presumption may only be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence.
More detail
This bill would require, when making a determination of the best interests of a child, a court to consider any relevant, admissible evidence that a parent has caused human trafficking of the child or other parent.
