The Family Court Integrity & Equality Act

Directive: Have my Governor’s Office of Legal Counsel draft and amend the following specific sections of the California Family Code. Funding Source: This entire Act is funded by the $80 Million Annual Surplus recaptured from the consolidation of the 58 county court IT systems into one centralized state system. No new taxes on citizens—just cutting the digital waste.

1. Amend Section 3040: The "Hard Record" 50/50 Presumption
The Command: Rewrite the code to state that the court shall start with a legal presumption that 50/50 joint physical custody is in the best interest of the child.
The Filter: This presumption is only rebuttable by a foundational fact of harm, strictly defined as: Law Enforcement Incident Reports, Substantiated CPS findings, or Criminal convictions.
The Goal: If both parents have clean records, the judge is legally barred from giving one parent more time than the other based on "feelings" or hearsay.

2. Amend Section 3011: The "Hearsay Gate" Filter
The Command: Add language that prohibits a judge from considering any oral allegations of abuse, neglect, or "unfitness" that are not corroborated by official records.
The Goal: End "he-said, she-said" smear campaigns. If it didn't warrant a police report or finding, it is legally hearsay and must be stricken from the record.

3. Add Section 3040.5: The "Digital Truth" Standard
The Command: Create a brand-new section requiring all parental communication in contested cases to be conducted through a State-Certified Communication App.
The Funding: Use the $80M Centralized Court Surplus to provide these apps FREE to every California family.
The AI Shield: Require these apps to provide "Digital Certificates of Authenticity" against AI-faked evidence.

4. The "Work-Ready" Child Support Update (Sections 4053 & 4062)
The Zero-Check Default: In all 50/50 custody cases, the starting child support order is $0.
Independent Households: Your financial situation (SSI/SSDI, etc.) is your own business. It does not create a right to a check from the other parent.
The "Your Week, Your Bill" Policy: Childcare/daycare expenses are the sole responsibility of the parent who has custody at that time.

5. Repeal Section 3111: Abolishment of Family Court Evaluators
The Command: Completely repeal Family Code Section 3111. Family Court judges are prohibited from ordering or appointing child custody evaluators.
The Criminal Record Bridge: A psychological evaluation may only be considered if it was conducted as part of a Criminal Court proceeding.
