An act relating to parental rights and responsibilities

This bill would establish a public policy in Vermont that encourages divorced or separated parents to share in raising their children. It creates a legal assumption that shared parental rights and responsibilities are best for a child, unless it would cause harm. The bill also updates the factors courts consider when deciding what is in a child's best interest, including the parents' ability to communicate and cooperate.
