I'm not sure whether “critical condition” helps your bill. Maybe the officials....
Finally, I don't have a lot of expertise on the criteria for best interests of the child. What about the situation where a terminally ill parent would like to have access for one last visit, for one last time, even though it was against the order, and a child was under 18, but still of the age of reason, and didn't want to? This implies the court shall ensure that the former spouse is granted access. Now we have the rights of the other party here, being the child. Is this a problem? Again, maybe this is for the officials, but children have rights as well.
