SB 1364: Child custody.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 25, 2026

What SB 1364 does, verified August 25, 2026

<blockquote> <p>The bill amends California's family code to address child custody determinations involving sexual assault. It requires courts to consider abuse leading to a child’s conception when deciding custody based on the best interests of the child. The bill prohibits granting custody or visitation rights to individuals convicted of sexual assault resulting in the child's conception or birth within 300 days, creating a rebuttable presumption that such an award is detrimental to the child's welfare.</p> <p>Additionally, it allows actions to declare nonexistence of parent-child relationships if the child was conceived due to a sexual assault and the father was convicted. It also modifies presumptions about paternity when a child is conceived as a result of a sexual assault unless the mother and father voluntarily share responsibilities after the assault.</p> </blockquote>
