Changes to Custody Laws Proposed

A bill that would change Pennsylvania child custody laws was passed in the state house yesterday with a unanimous vote and will now move on to the senate. The bill reportedly addresses several issues such as judges being prevented from awarding custody based on gender. Courts will also have to disclose their reasons for awarding custody to one party. These reforms and others aim to make court hearings less contentious and have a stronger focus on what's best for the children.     

Child custody matters are taken very seriously by courts and can involve a number of complications depending on the situation. You need to know that when you are dealing with a child custody situation that you do have rights that should be protected. You can resolve this matter in a beneficial way if your case is handled properly. It's in your best interest to make sure that your case is settled in the way that you deserve it to be.
