here is the abstract Abstract
HB 0940 also called “Abrial’s Law, the Keeping Children Safe from Family Violence Act,” brings significant changes to the Tennessee child custody statutes focusing on child safety in cases of domestic violence or child abuse. The bill also protects the parent in custody proceedings from being punished for reporting domestic violence or child abuse in good faith. It also limits the ability of the courts to order a child to continue to have contact with a parent who is abusive while the child has a bond with the other parent. In such cases, expert evidence must come from professionals with relevant experience in cases of domestic violence or child abuse, and previous abuse by the accused parent is admissible in court. The bill requires evidentiary hearings before appointing guardian ad litem or other professionals in custody cases. If domestic violence or abuse is confirmed, the abusive parent will not receive custody, and any visitation must be supervised by a professional. Additionally, courts are directed to base decisions on scientific, peer-reviewed research regarding the abuse claims, avoiding unproven or non-standard practices. The law also prohibits the court from ordering reunification treatments where there is no scientific evidence to prove the safety and efficacy of such treatments, particularly where the child has a bond with the non-custodial and non-abusive parent. It requires all the court employees to be trained on issues of domestic violence and child abuse to increase their knowledge when making decisions and to do it in a culturally appropriate manner. Judges are required to undergo continuing education on these matters every year. The bill was enacted on the 1st of January in the year 2024 with the aim of enhancing the welfare of children in cases of custody and where abuse is alleged.
