As a member of the Virginia Family Law Coalition, Dan Gray was in Richmond on Friday, January 27 to observe the House Courts of Justice Committee Meeting. He was shadowing fellow Coalition member Kimberlee Ramsey of FlorenceGordonBrown, PC, who has spoken before Courts of Justice numerous times on pending family law legislation.
The Coalition was present to support HB 2289, which provides authority for courts to order life insurance coverage to secure alimony awards post-divorce. This bill arose out of a Boyd-Graves Commission study. The bill made its way out of Committee and to the House floor.
On Friday, the Coalition opposed HB 1586, which requires the clerk of court to transmit custody orders to the schools of minor children within 3 days of entry. The Coalition earlier spoke before the Courts of Justice Subcommittee and expressed concerns about the bill’s operation, which led to some improving amendments. Ultimately, HB 1586 made its way out of Committee and on to the House floor.
The Coalition also HB 2128, which expanded types of abuse the courts could consider in determining “best interests.” On Friday, HB 2128 was passed by.
