SC H3085

Creates a rebuttable presumption that approximately equal parenting time between both parents is in the child's best interest when both parents are willing, able, and fit

Requires courts to issue written findings of fact explaining why equal parenting time is not in the child's best interest if the custody order deviates from approximately equal time-sharing

Adds a new factor for courts to consider: how frequently a parent would leave the child with a nonrelative on evenings and weekends when the other parent is available and willing to provide care

Requires a showing of substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances to modify any custody determination, parenting plan, or time-sharing schedule

Amends existing law requiring parents to submit parenting plans in contested custody hearings to incorporate the equal time-sharing presumption
