Bill Summary
Relative to the granting of temporary or permanent custody to a parent when the other parent is deemed unfit. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 26(a) of Chapter 119 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The key provision of the bill allows the court to grant temporary or permanent custody of a child to the child's parent without a finding that the other parent is unfit or adjudicating the child in need of care and protection. This change aims to eliminate unnecessary time in foster care and streamline the process of granting custody to a fit parent when the other parent is deemed unfit.
