Existing law requires the court to refrain from making an order granting or modifying a child custody order on an ex parte basis unless there has been a showing of immediate harm to the child, as defined, or immediate risk that the child will be removed from the State of California. This bill would require a court to consider a parent's illegal access to firearms and ammunition when determining whether there is a showing of immediate harm to the child, as specified. Existing law governs the determination of child custody and visitation in contested proceedings. Existing law requires the court, for purposes of deciding custody or visitation, to determine the best interests of the child based on certain factors, including the health, safety, and welfare of the child, and the nature and amount of contact with both parents, except as specified. If a protective order has been issued restraining a parent, existing law requires the court to determine whether to require that visitation to be supervised, suspended, limited, or denied. This bill would also require the court to determine whether to require that visitation be supervised, suspended, limited, or denied if it has found that circumstances warrant making an order granting or modifying a custody order on an ex parte basis because there has been a showing of immediate harm to the child or immediate risk that the child will be removed from the State of California.
