WA HB1620

Courts must limit a parent's residential time when there is willful abandonment, physical abuse, pattern of emotional abuse, history of domestic violence, sexual assault, or sexual abuse of a child

Creates rebuttable presumption that parents convicted of sex offenses against children pose a present danger, requiring supervised visitation with neutral supervisors and completion of sex offender treatment before any contact

Establishes presumption favoring professional supervisors for supervised visitation, with detailed requirements including written guidelines, signed acknowledgments, and ability for emergency ex parte orders if violations occur

Mandates sole decision-making authority and prohibits mutual dispute resolution (except court action) when a parent has committed domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, or willful abandonment

Defines "abusive use of conflict" and "protective actions" to clarify that good-faith reports of abuse to authorities or seeking protective orders cannot be used against a parent claiming limitations should apply
