The purpose of this bill is to repeal statutory language authorizing a minor over age of fourteen years to nominate a guardian. In domestic relation matters, the bill deals with; allocation of responsibilities of the parties in parenting plans and spousal support. It provides an alimony guideline worksheet calculation for determining monthly payments. The bill removes from the matters considered in a permanent parenting plan a description of the allocation of care taking and other parenting responsibilities performed by each person during the twenty-four months preceding the filing of an action and requires a substantive, affirmative and independent analysis by the court as to which parent is more likely to keep the noncustodial parent involved in the child’s life prospectively, and an evidentiary evaluation on the issue as to whether a parent has engaged in alienation of the affections of a child toward the other parent, either pre-or post-divorce when allocating custodial responsibility.
