HB 1585 Child support; court shall make a determination and enter an order containing such determination.

Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Determinations of child support.  Provides that a court shall make a determination of child support and enter an order to that effect at the initial court date on any initial petition for support, provided that the court has sufficient evidence to make such a determination, if the petitioner demonstrates that he (i) has physical custody of the child for whom support is being sought and (ii) has personally served the respondent with the petition or the respondent appears in person at the initial hearing. The bill also provides that the court may, however, enter a temporary support order if it makes a written finding that continuation of the matter is proper. If the respondent contests paternity and the court cannot establish paternity at the initial hearing, the case shall be continued without the entry of a temporary support order.
