HB 381 -- CUSTODY OF CHILDREN

SPONSOR: Terry

This bill specifies that, when a court finds both parents of a child equally unfit, unsuitable, or unable to be the child's custodian and finds that it would be in the best interests of the child to be in the custody of a third party, priority must be given to the grandparent or grandparents of the child.

This bill is similar to HB 1638 (2024) and HB 61 (2023).
