Tulsa County, Okla. – The legislators from the Tulsa district from Tulsa are pushing changes in the way in which custody is treated before the family court.
Their efforts are supported by the legacy of the right to birth, a non -profit parent representative of Tulsa.
House Bill 1082 will be authorized by the state representative Mark Tedford (R-Tulsa County) and the Senator Dana Prieto (R-Tulsa). Both Prieto and Tedford referred, Marquess Dennis, the founder of the Birthright Living Legacy as a huge supporter of this bill.
The legislation changes part of the wording already specified in state law. It is said that a dish has to decide what “is” the best interest in the child and not what “appears”. It is also the legal starting point that what is in the best interest of the child has access to both parents.
Both Dennis and Tedford said that the competitive area for both parents in the custody is involved at this level.
“Unfortunately, the legal system is preserved against one of the other parents to have pain to the other parent, and the child is caught in the middle,” said Tedford. “The idea is that it relocates the parent's burden, which opposes the same custody against custody, why they shouldn't be custody right away.”
“It will help to give both parents the same access. There is the same access to both parents because it is the best result for the child,” said Dennis.
A parent can continue to submit a full custody of a child or children, but he has to prove how this serves the child's best interest in a so -called “presumption of presumption”.
“This draft law helps the judge like 'Hey as a norm, we will only start with the same mutual parenting, unless they have been proven on both sides. Because we have to decide as a society, abuse must be wrong, no matter who does it,” said Dennis.
The refutation is not open to sex offenders or violent criminals. HB1082 adds a section of the state law in which a parent cannot submit custody in the register of the sex offender or the violent crowd. It also adds that the child's best interest is not laid in the entire custody of this parent.
Both Dennis and Tedford said that this was only a beginning and there is a long way to repair the family court system.
Dennis said that even more efforts are required to create more consistency and the same fairness for both parents.
“At the moment, when you look at the family court, it is so anchored that it is a parent, and it causes such a crack because the child now has to do with the fear of turbulence, the hatred, the resentment. Everything that builds up the stuff that builds up when you pull out a child.
The law was passed from both house committees and will be discussed in the house floor in the coming weeks. It was discussed, but was adopted with cross -party support.
