Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates parental reunification therapy in suits affecting the parent-child relationship by requiring both parents' consent for a court to order it, prohibiting certain coercive methods or outcomes that restrict contact or alter possession/conservatorship, allowing challenges to violating orders, and making the new law a basis for modifying prior custody/access orders. All provisions substantively address custody-parenting-time under the custody-support topic and restrict the axis by expanding protections for the less-custodial parent's rights against unwanted therapy or interference
