HARRISBURG - A new law with a provision authored by Rep. Jamie Flick (R-Lycoming/Union) will reduce burden on families and courts by reducing the factors considered during child custody issues from 19 to 12. Gov. Josh Shapiro recently signed the measure, which Flick said was improved with his amendment to require family courts to provide anyone named in a custody petition with a written copy of the new factors when decisions are made.
