parenting time; expert testimony; qualifications

Summary

The bill requires that any expert witness testifying about alleged domestic violence or abuse in a parenting‑time hearing must have both expertise and clinical experience with victims, and cannot rely solely on forensic qualifications. It also restricts the psychological tests that may be used and bans polygraph, voice‑stress, and similar measures. The measure aims to ensure reliable, victim‑focused testimony in family court.
