SB 497 Child support; may be modified retroactively only to date that petition for modification was filed.
Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Child support petition. Clarifies that the retroactive modification of a child support order is not dependent on the court in which the petition was originally filed. Child support orders may be modified retroactively only to the date that the petition for modification was filed. When the modification petition is originally filed in juvenile and domestic relations district court and removed to circuit court, some circuit court judges have ruled that the circuit court can order child support retroactive to the date of filing in circuit court and others have ruled that retroactivity goes back to the date of filing in juvenile court. This bill provides that the child support may be modified back to the date that the modification petition was filed in any court.
