25-4-45.8. Consideration of reporting abuse falsely or without good cause in custody award.
In determining what is in the best interest of any particular child, the court shall consider whether the person whose conduct is under review has ever attempted to influence a child custody hearing by, falsely or without good cause, reporting pursuant to chapter 26-8A that some other person has committed sexual abuse, physical abuse, or abuse and neglect against the child or a sibling of the child. Nothing in this section effects the confidentiality of records and files relating to reports of child abuse or neglect maintained by the Department of Social Services pursuant to chapter 26-8A.
