AI Summary

This bill aims to expedite the process for modifying judgments related to the care and custody of minor children. It amends existing laws to set specific requirements and procedures, including: the criteria for considering a modification (such as material and substantial changes in circumstances), the ability to request an evidentiary hearing, the timeline for discovery and hearings, and the establishment of a standard filing form and fee. The bill also allows the court to make temporary orders during the pendency of a modification proceeding in emergency situations. Overall, the goal is to provide a more streamlined and efficient process for parents or guardians seeking to modify existing judgments regarding the care and custody of their minor children.
