I'd like to hear from the officials on this one in particular and then make comment.

My understanding is that this is going some way towards adding a presumption. It appears as though it's making a preference over some of the factors and considerations that go into the overall paramountcy of the best interests of the child by adding certain elements and ranking them as to how these things are balanced and factored.

I'd like to hear the officials' thoughts on whether or not that is an accurate assessment of this amendment.
