IWhat Changed变化内容

The New York Senate passed Kyra's Law (S5998C) 60 to 0 on June 4, 2026, and the Assembly passed its companion (A6194C) on June 5, 2026. The bill would amend Domestic Relations Law §§ 70 and 240 to require a prompt evidentiary hearing, generally within 20 court days, when a party makes credible allegations that a child's safety is at risk, to create a rebuttable presumption against unsupervised temporary custody or visitation for a party found to pose a substantial risk, and to add a new § 240-e governing child safety in final custody determinations. As of this update the bill had not been signed.纽约州参议院于2026年6月4日以60比0通过《凯拉法》(S5998C),众议院于6月5日通过对应法案(A6194C)。该法案将修订《家庭关系法》第70及240条:一方就儿童安全风险提出可信指控时,须及时举行证据听证,一般在20个法院工作日内;对被认定构成重大风险的一方,设立不利于其获得无监督临时监护或探视的可推翻推定;并新增第240-e条,规范最终监护裁决中的儿童安全问题。截至本文,该法案尚未签署。

IIAnalysis分析

If signed, the bill would shift custody litigation toward early fact-finding on safety allegations, before temporary arrangements harden into the status quo that courts are reluctant to disturb. It would also raise the stakes of the first filings in a custody case, since allegations and the evidence supporting them would be tested within weeks rather than months.该法案如获签署,将促使监护诉讼提前就安全指控进行事实认定,避免临时安排固化为法院不愿变更的现状。它也会提高监护案件初期文件的分量,因为相关指控及证据将在数周而非数月内接受检验。

IIIWhat To Do Now应对建议

In pending custody matters, assemble safety evidence, such as records, reports and witness statements, at the outset. Monitor the bill's delivery to and action by the Governor, and its effective date.在未决监护案件中,从一开始即收集安全证据,例如记录、报告及证人陈述。持续关注该法案送交州长及州长的处理情况,以及生效日期。
