Overview

• Under current law, custody and visitation limits apply only when a child is directly abused
• Hubig’s proposal extends restrictions to cases of violence against the other parent, including severe insults or threats
• Family courts would gain authority to mandate anti-violence training programs for offending parents
• Domestic violence victims could unilaterally exit shared rental contracts without needing the abusive partner’s consent
• Enforcement questions persist over how visitation bans will work when parents and children live under the same roof
