HB 509 Restriction on divorce suits against prisoners.

Introduced by: C. Richard Cranwell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Restriction on suits against prisoners. Expands the types of lawsuits that may be filed against a prisoner without the appointment of a committee to include suits for divorce. Currently such actions are limited to actions to establish a parent and child relationship between a child and a prisoner and actions to establish a prisoner's child support obligation. This addition avoids the possibility that the failure to appoint a committee would result in the continuation of an unwanted marriage.
