California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 24, 2026

What AB 2789 does, verified August 24, 2026

This bill aims to improve mediation in family law cases by requiring written notice of mediation to all parties involved. The notice must include details about confidential communication and separate meetings for parties with a history of domestic violence or a protective order in effect. The court is responsible for developing the notice and ensuring its distribution. The goal is to provide a more transparent and protective process for parties in custody and visitation disputes.
