Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses custody and parenting time by mandating priority and expedited hearings for temporary orders and enforcement of time-sharing (protecting the less-custodial parent's access), requiring courts to determine parenting plans in paternity cases, and repealing the prior default that gave all time-sharing and sole responsibility to the obligee/mother. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
