Bill > S08860

This bill amends New York's domestic relations law to prohibit courts from considering evidence that either parent has obtained or attempted to obtain reproductive health services, which are defined as healthcare services related to the human reproductive system, including those related to pregnancy or its termination, when making decisions about child custody or visitation. This change applies to legal proceedings where a court determines the best interests of a child, such as in cases of divorce, separation, or custody disputes, ensuring that a parent's past decisions regarding reproductive healthcare do not negatively impact their rights in family court matters.
