2009 House Bill 5114: Establish joint custody presumption
  1. Introduced by Rep. Brian Calley (R) on June 17, 2009, to establish that in a custody dispute between parents, a court must order joint custody unless it determines by clear and convincing evidence that a parent is unfit, unwilling, or unable to care for the child; or unless the parent moves outside the school district and is unable to maintain the child's school schedule without interruption. In that case, the court must order that the parents submit to mediation to determine a custody agreement that maximizes both parents' ability to participate equally in a relationship with their child while accommodating the child's school schedule.
    • Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on June 17, 2009.

 I totally agree because no court should have the right to dictate to parents who actually love and care for their child with no monetary interest, and it is sure in the best interests of children.

 I positively feel, it is best interest for child, as long as the child live in same school distract, why not?
