SB 1143 Child support; court shall make determination and enter an order at initial court date.

Introduced by: Frederick M. Quayle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Determination of child support.  Provides that a court shall make a determination of child support and enter an order containing such determination at the initial court date on any initial petition for support if the petitioner demonstrates that (i) he has physical custody of the child for whom support is being sought and (ii) he has personally served the respondent with the initial petition seeking child support unless the respondent appears in person on the initial court date. If the court makes a written finding that continuation of the matter is proper, such order shall be entered as a pendente lite order. However, if the respondent contests paternity and the court cannot lawfully establish paternity at the initial hearing, the case shall be continued without the entry of a pendente lite support order.
