SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Appeal bonds; support cases.  Provides that a party may elect to appeal only the portions of a juvenile and domestic relations district court judgment (i) establishing or modifying support, or (ii) convicting him or holding him in contempt for failure to support, without appealing any portion of the judgment establishing a support arrearage. If such an election is made, the portion of the judgment establishing an arrearage remains in full force and effect and is not subject to appeal. The bill also clarifies that only parties who appeal the portion of a judgment establishing a support arrearage, either alone or in conjunction with an appeal of a support order, have to post an appeal bond. This bill is a recommendation of the Boyd-Graves Conference.
