The Alec and Lydia Act (HB2995) is a commonsense, life-saving effort to strengthen how Arizona family courts protect children and families impacted by domestic violence and coercive control. This bill helps courts better recognize patterns of abuse—not just physical violence—and ensures that important safety concerns are fully considered when making custody and parenting decisions. It encourages thoughtful, informed decision-making by requiring clear findings and giving judges the tools to put appropriate protections in place, such as supervised visitation when needed. This legislation is important because too many families still face gaps in protection, and survivors often navigate complex systems while trying to keep their children safe. Alec and Lydia’s story is a heartbreaking reminder that more can be done—despite known concerns, the system did not fully safeguard them. The Alec and Lydia Act honors their lives by working to strengthen the system, support families, and help prevent future tragedies through greater awareness, accountability, and care in family court decisions.
