| The Committee will hear public testimony on the following Interim Charges: |
|
|
| 1. Study the current Texas law governing suits by nonparents affecting the |
|
| parent child relationship, specifically including suits for possession of |
|
| or access to a child by a grandparent under Family Code, Sections |
|
| 153.432-153.434 in light of Troxel v. Granville and other court rulings. |
|
| Recommend any needed changes. |
|
|
| 2. Review methods for determining equal access and visitation under the |
|
| standard possession order, and ascertain whether or not the distance |
|
| parents reside from each other should create the need for a distinct |
|
| standard possession order. |
|
|
| 3. Consider the law governing no-fault divorces and make recommendations |
|
| for any possible changes. |
