NJ A331

Expands the list of criminal convictions that prohibit awarding child custody or visitation rights by adding first degree kidnapping of a minor, criminal sexual contact, luring/enticing a child (when combined with prior sex offense convictions), human trafficking for sexual activity, lewdness involving minors, and promoting child prostitution

Applies to equivalent crimes committed in other jurisdictions, not just New Jersey convictions

Allows courts to award custody or visitation only upon clear and convincing evidence that it is in the child's best interest

Requires courts to stay enforcement of any custody/visitation order for at least 10 days to allow for appeals

Denial of custody or visitation does not terminate parental rights or child support obligations, and victims are not required to appear in the presence of the offender during support proceedings
