FL S0504

Raises the threshold for creating a presumption of detriment to requiring that a court find probable cause of sexual abuse by a parent or caregiver, rather than just an allegation to the child abuse hotline.

Prohibits persons meeting criteria in subsection (3)(a) from visiting or having contact with a child without a hearing and court order.

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

Allows courts to consider evidence from child protective teams, therapists, and guardians ad litem at hearings, even if not admissible under standard rules of evidence, with a clear and convincing evidence standard required to rebut the presumption.

Requires courts to hold hearings within 7 business days if a person is alleged to have influenced a child's testimony or if a therapist reports that visitation is impeding the child's therapeutic progress.
