Expands evaluation criteria to include individuals residing with a party or having considerable interaction with the child, and requires assessment of present and proposed environments where possession occurs

Requires courts to honor parental agreements on possession schedules for children under three unless the court determines the agreement is not in the child's best interest

Changes terminology from "temporary" to "graduated" possession schedules when there has been minimal or inconsistent contact, and applies only to suits filed on or after September 1, 2025
