Based on 2023 legislative changes, we did the following:
- In our Maine Custody section:
- Revised If my child was conceived from a sexual assault, can the offender’s rights be terminated? to add the considerations the judge must take if allowing parent-child contact with a sexual assault offender.
- In our Maine Protection From Abuse Orders page, we revised What is the legal definition of abuse in Maine? to add the fact that nonconsensual removal of or tampering with a condom is now a ground for getting an order.Created a new question called If my child was conceived due to nonconsensual removal of a condom, can the offender get parental rights?
- In our Maine Protection From Abuse Orders page, we revised What is the legal definition of abuse in Maine? to add the fact that nonconsensual removal of or tampering with a condom is now a ground for getting an order.
- In our Maine Suing an Abuser for Money page, added information about being able to sue someone in civil court for nonconsensual removal of a condom, misrepresentation of condom use, tampering with the condom so that it is ineffective, or purposefully using a damaged condom.
