Custody & supportotherAI label
↓Restricts rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
Creates new criminal offenses and penalties for prohibited unregulated custody transfers and related soliciting or advertising, with enhanced felonies in certain cases such as previously adopted children or repeat violations.
A person commits an offense if a person violates this section. An offense under this subsection is a Class B misdemeanor, except that the offense is a felony of the third degree if the child who is the subject of the offense has been previously adopted.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts the Uniform Unregulated Child Custody Transfer Act, which regulates private custody transfers between parents and third parties by prohibiting unregulated transfers intended to abandon parental rights, mandating formal legal channels instead, and imposing criminal penalties; this affects disputes or arrangements between parents and private parties (not solely state child-welfare actions), increasing obligations on the less-custodial or transferring parent and thus restricting on the custody-support axis. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
