W. Va. Code § 48-9-102a

Current through 2024 First Special Session
Section 48-9-102a - Presumption in favor of equal (50-50) custodial allocation

There shall be a presumption, rebuttable by a preponderance of the evidence, that equal (50-50) custodial allocation is in the best interest of the child. If the presumption is rebutted, the court shall, absent an agreement between the parents as to all matters related to custodial allocation, construct a parenting time schedule which maximizes the time each parent has with the child and is consistent with ensuring the child's welfare.
