On Valentine’s Day, the Florida Senate will be contemplating what happens when love goes horribly wrong, as it mulls legislation that would govern how divorced parents hand their children off to each other during split custody scenarios.
Sen. Clay Yarborough’s bill (SB 580) is on the Special Order calendar, where it likely will be substituted with the identical measure that passed the House (HB 385).
The bill is referred to as the Cassie Carli Law to honor Cassie Carli, a 37-year-old Navarre woman who vanished in March 2022 following the scheduled exchange of her preschool-aged daughter, only to be found in a grave in Alabama weeks later.
The legislation would require court-approved plans for shared custody to include, unless otherwise agreed to by both parents, a list of “designated authorized locations” to exchange custody of their children. Estranged parents can opt out with a written waiver, however, should they be able to work things out more amicably.
In cases where parents provide evidence that they or their child may be at risk of harm, a court may require the parents to exchange in the parking lot of a county Sheriff’s Office.
The parking lot must be accessible at all times, well-lit, have video surveillance and include a purple light or a sign billing it as a “neutral safe exchange location.”
The bill also entitles domestic violence victims to the same protections, mandating a court order to enforce the condition.

What on Earth? Why is the FLgOP encouraging divorce like this? Can’t the FLgOPs make up their minds about what they want? They say they want people to be married and have a family, but here they go making it easier to be a divorced person. Shame, FLgOP. Shame. /s

They aren’t encouraging divorce. They are trying to protect women from being murdered by their exs during custody exchanges.

Not being murdered does tend to make life easier. Not having to worry about the problematic custody exchange does tend to make a choice for divorced life easier. If you believe in marriage and what the Bible says, you don’t do things that make it easier for a woman to disobey her husband, knowing it’s not as hard as it used to be to leave. Right? That is what the Bible says.
And again, /s.
If the sarcastic comments come across seriously even with the closing tags, that’s because they could be believed considering where Trump and Rhonda’s took their FLgOP.
The FLgOP lives in crazy town.
