“Greyson’s Law” will require courts to consider threats against ex-partners or spouses when deciding child visitation and custody.
DeSantis signed the bill Thursday. It goes into effect July 1.
The law is named for Greyson Kessler, a 4-year-old Broward child who was killed by his father in a 2021 murder-suicide in Fort Lauderdale.
Greyson’s mother had feared for her son’s safety when she sought an emergency order asking police to pick the child up, but she was denied.
