CHILD'S BILL OF RIGHTS
A FIRST FOR NORTH CAROLINA'S CHILDREN
The Child’s Bill of Rights centers principles like:
• Emotional safety and freedom from adult conflict
• Stability, routine, and age-appropriate communication
• Protection from being placed in the middle
• Respect for a child’s developmental and emotional needs
By embedding these principles directly into a custody order, the court creates clear expectations for parental behavior — not just schedules — and a shared framework that keeps the child at the center.
