9-13-105. Criminal records check.

Any parent of a minor child in a circuit court case may petition the court to order a criminal records check of the other parent of a minor child. If the court determines there is reasonable cause to suspect that the other parent may have engaged in criminal conduct that would be relevant to the issue of custody of the minor child or visitation privileges, the court may order the sheriff of the county in which the petition was filed to conduct a criminal records check through the Arkansas Crime Information Center. The court shall review the results of the criminal records check, and if it deems appropriate, provide the results to the petitioning parent. Any costs associated with conducting a criminal records check shall be borne by the petitioning party.
