Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Code §6.502 to make exclusive occupancy of the primary residence mandatory (rather than discretionary) during a pending divorce suit when the adverse spouse has a qualifying recent family-violence conviction or deferred adjudication; this changes custody-related property rights in the context of domestic violence and therefore triggers the domestic-violence-custody subtag (and the broader custody-parenting-time tag) under the provided rules for judging effects on the less-custodial parent's rights versus obligations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
