CustodyLens structures child custody and parental rights law across every US state into a clear, searchable landscape. Custody types, child support, parenting time, domestic violence, relocation rules — sourced directly from official statutory codes.
The regulatory landscape is free. Custom analysis is what we charge for.
Handling custody cases across state lines means tracking UCCJEA jurisdiction, varying best-interest factors, relocation standards, and support guidelines that differ dramatically by jurisdiction. CustodyLens maps it all.
Court-appointed advocates need to understand the statutory framework for custody determinations, best-interest factors, and child protection standards in their jurisdiction and beyond.
When families relocate across state lines, custody arrangements must be modified under new jurisdictional rules. Understanding each state's relocation standards and modification procedures is critical.
Mediators helping parents reach custody agreements need to understand the statutory landscape — what the court would likely order, what's permitted, and what requires judicial approval in each state.
Researchers studying custody outcomes, shared parenting trends, domestic violence impact on custody, and child support reform. Structured, citable statutory data across all 50 states.
Lawmakers considering custody reform need to see how other states handle shared parenting presumptions, best-interest factors, and child support guidelines. CustodyLens provides the comparative data.
Understanding your rights as a parent — custody types, parenting time standards, modification procedures, support obligations — shouldn't require a law degree. CustodyLens makes the statutory landscape navigable.
Grandparent visitation rights vary enormously by state. After Troxel v. Granville, every state drew its own lines. CustodyLens maps the standing requirements, factors, and limitations state by state.
When custody intersects with domestic violence, knowing the statutory protections — rebuttable presumptions, supervised visitation requirements, protective order interactions — can be critical for safety.
How does each state define "best interests of the child"? Joint custody presumptions, parental fitness factors, children's preferences — filter by custody types and see the full landscape.

Every state's child custody framework evaluated against six dimensions of justice drawn from the Summa Theologiae. Non-partisan. Rigorous. Every law gets its strongest defense before evaluation.
