A
prior post addressed Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 9, entitled
"A Resolution To Create A Blue Ribbon Task Force To
Review Open Family Court Proceedings", and Senate Bill 119. Under the terms
of Senate Bill 119 Family Court proceedings regarding
paternity, divorce, property division and alimony would be presumed
to be public. The Family Court would retain the discretion to
hold the proceedings in private in certain
circumstances. Adoption, custody, visitation, third party
visitation, Child Protection Registry and child welfare hearings
would remain private, but the Family Court could open those
hearings to the public in certain circumstances. The Bill
continues its path through the legislative process and is scheduled
to be considered by the House Judiciary Committee today.
