Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 9:355.2, relative to the relocation of a child; to specify how miles are measured for relocation of a child; to provide for technical changes; to provide for applicability; to provide for an effective date; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies how distances are measured when a parent seeks to relocate a child, specifically defining "miles" as the shortest distance on navigable roads between the child's current principal residence and the proposed new principal residence. This change applies to situations where a parent intends to move a child out of state, or within the state more than seventy-five miles from the other parent's domicile or the child's previous principal residence, unless there's a written agreement or a specific court order, such as a protective order, that addresses relocation differently. The bill also makes technical changes to existing law and will become effective on January 1, 2027, but will not affect any relocation cases already in litigation on that date.
