Introduced by: Henry L. Marsh III | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Juvenile court; support appeals. Clarifies the bond requirements for appeal of an order establishing a support arrearage (arrearage bond) or suspending payment of support during pendency of an appeal (accrual bond), a conviction for failure to support (appearance or recognizance) and a finding of civil or criminal contempt involving a failure to support (appearance or recognizance). The bill treats an appearance bond as bail. Failure to post it does not keep the appeal from going forward, but the appellant may not be at liberty during the pendency of the appeal.
