CA AB2752

Removes prohibition on visitations that jeopardize child safety and replaces it with requirement that courts presume unsupervised visitation unless it would present an identified present danger of harm to the child with no reasonable means to protect the child without supervised visitation.

Requires courts at initial petition hearings and all subsequent review hearings to order visitation between children and parents/guardians that is most conducive to quality family time, specifying frequency, duration, and whether visitation shall be supervised.

Mandates that when supervised visitation is ordered, courts must specify factual basis and grant county child welfare agencies discretion to liberalize to unsupervised visitation unless court finds granting discretion would be contrary to child's safety.

Requires social workers to specify in reports why child's return would be detrimental and, if visitation has not been liberalized, what efforts were made to liberalize visitation and why liberalization was contrary to child's welfare.

Defines "unsupervised visitation" as contact between a parent or guardian and one or more children without requiring presence of a third person.
