Plain-language summary
Beta
This bill would change Kentucky's child custody law by removing the current legal presumption that joint custody and equal parenting time are the default starting point in custody decisions. Courts would instead determine custody arrangements without that built-in preference for equal time-sharing between parents. Who it may affect: parents going through divorce or separation, and their children.
