AB 1375: Consideration when determining child custody: human trafficking.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 13, 2025

What AB 1375 does, verified December 13, 2025

The bill adds a new section to the family code that relates to child custody. It requires courts to consider evidence of human trafficking when determining the best interests of a child. This consideration is in addition to existing laws that address domestic violence and its impact on child custody. The court must take into account any relevant, admissible evidence of human trafficking when making a custody determination. This change aims to better protect children who have been victims of human trafficking in the custody dispute.
