SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Child custody and visitation. Amends the criminal penalty provision for violation of a court order respecting the custody or visitation of a child by providing that the sworn statement of any person, administered under oath, supported by a party’s affidavit and verification of the court order, constitutes sufficient probable cause for the issuance of a warrant. A provision is added to the determination of custody and visitation statute that the intentional withholding of visitation of a child from the other parent without just cause may constitute a material change of circumstances justifying a change of custody in the discretion of the court.
