Is Kayden’s Law In Danger? –– Kayden’s Law was signed by Pennsylvania’s governor, April 15, and took effect and mandates courts to consider a parent’s history of violence when deciding custody.
It’s named for seven-year-old Kayden Mancuso who was murdered by her father in 2018 during a visitation.
We find it puzzling that a history of violence had not been a prime consideration in custody matters in Pennsylvania, and that a law was even needed.
Yes, the old law required it to be listed but there was never a requirement to act.
We are hearing that there are attempts to gut Kayden’s Law. Those behind the subversion are reportedly being made by powerful figures in our legal system — notably in Montgomery County.
And this is despite the obvious will of the legislature, not to mention common sense.
What say you, Judge Daniel Clifford?
