New Family Law Draft Sets Out Child Custody Conditions

A new draft family law sets out conditions for child custody, including who is eligible to care for a child after the parents separate.

The proposed provisions address eligibility for custody and its duration, as well as how custody comes to an end.

The measures are intended to protect children in the event of parental separation, making their care a central focus of the proposed framework.

The available summary does not specify the eligibility requirements, the duration of custody or the circumstances in which it would end. It describes the legislation as a draft, rather than an enacted law.
