California Senate Passes Susan Rubio’s “Right to Pause” Family Court Bill

"In every child court proceeding and decision, including visitation, the safety of a child must come first. Too often, when domestic violence abuse & child custody cases intersect, an abusive parent uses their children as weapons to hurt a partner or ex-partner." - Senator Susan Rubio

In a bipartisan and unanimous vote, the California Senate passed a bill last week by Senator Susan Rubio (D-Baldwin Park) that will protect victims and children by allowing for a pause in visitation if there are recent signs of escalating violent behavior by an abusive parent.

Senate Bill 1265, “The Right to Pause Act: Child Custody Protection,” will amend the Family Code. It will clarify that in specific high-risk escalating violence circumstances, visitation by children, who are ordered to have in-person contact with a parent who has a restraining order in place, may be temporarily halted until there is a hearing set by the court.
