FL H0387

Changes the trigger for presumption of detriment from a report to the child abuse hotline to requiring probable cause findings that a parent or caregiver has sexually abused a child.

Persons meeting criteria under the presumption (probable cause of sexual abuse, convictions for certain crimes, or sexual predator designation) cannot visit or have contact with a child without a court hearing and order.

Requires courts to appoint an attorney ad litem or guardian ad litem with special training in child sexual abuse dynamics prior to any hearing on contact.

Allows courts to consider evidence from child protective teams, therapists, and guardians ad litem that may not be admissible under standard rules of evidence, and requires written findings of fact when ordering visitation or contact.

Requires hearings within 7 business days if a party reports that someone is attempting to influence a child's testimony or if a therapist reports visitation is impeding therapeutic progress.
