A bill for an act relating to temporary orders of child custody in dissolution proceedings.

This bill requires Iowa courts to establish temporary joint physical care (shared parenting) for children during divorce proceedings, unless the court finds by clear evidence that it would be inappropriate. If joint care is denied, the court must explain its decision using specific factors from existing law. The law directly affects parents and children involved in Iowa divorce cases where temporary custody is being decided. It aims to ensure consistent visitation schedules and encourages parental cooperation during initial custody disputes.
