Modifies provisions relating to child custody proceedings

HB 1842 updates the legal rules governing child custody cases in family court by modifying specific sections of the state code. The bill ensures that these revised provisions apply to all custody proceedings, which are defined by existing statutes. By amending the relevant code sections, the legislation changes how family courts handle custody disputes, though it does not specify new rights or obligations for parents or children. This change affects any family court case involving child custody that occurs after the new rules take effect.
