The Legislature finds that increasing numbers of children are living with one parent and that many of these children have been exposed to violence in the home. The Legislature further finds that it is sometimes in the best interests of children that the exercise of custodial responsibility, including the exchange of children, be monitored in order to observe and record the exercise of custodial responsibility and to discourage or prevent inappropriate conduct. For these reasons, the Legislature declares that a program be implemented to foster safe and neutral centers to monitor custodial responsibility, including the exchange of children, through the certification of children's centers for the monitoring of custodial responsibility.
