Concerning limitations in parenting plans.

SB 5575 amends Washington state law to clarify when courts must limit a parent's residential time with a child in parenting plans. It specifically requires limitations if a parent has committed physical/sexual abuse, domestic violence, a sex offense against a child, or willful abandonment, or if they knowingly live with someone who has committed such acts. The bill defines "protective actions" (like reporting abuse or seeking restraining orders) as not constituting "abusive use of conflict," ensuring parents taking safety steps aren't penalized. This directly affects parents and children in custody cases where abuse or safety risks are alleged, changing how courts evaluate residential time restrictions.
