Senate Resolution No. by Senator Barrow urges the Select Committee on Women and Children of the Senate to conduct a study on a parent's right to equal custodial periods with their child. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining frequent and continuing contact between children and both parents, advocating for equal custodial arrangements whenever feasible. It also highlights the need for programs that promote healthy custodial relationships and addresses issues where custodial time has been misused to harass or alienate the other parent.

The resolution calls for the committee to invite representatives from various organizations, including the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services and the Louisiana District Judges Association, to provide testimony during the study. The committee is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations to the Senate Committee on Judiciary A and the Senate president by March 1, 2026. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children.
