Lee's new proposed legislation includes:
- Requiring a judge to “make specific written findings of fact regarding the relevant factors that justify an award of alimony.”
- Changing the calculations for alimony amounts to make it less easy to get. That includes considering what an ex-spouse could be making if he or she is otherwise “voluntarily unemployed or underemployed.”
- Excluding undistributed “earnings or gains on retirement accounts” when determining income for alimony purposes.
- Creating a legal presumption that “approximately equal time-sharing with a minor child by both parents is … in the (child’s) best interest.”
- Requiring a judge to consider “the frequency that a parent would likely leave the child in the care of a nonrelative … when the other parent would be available and willing to provide care” when deliberating custody time.
