Introduced by: William C. Mims | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Child support. Authorizes the Department of Social Services to initiate a review of the amount of court ordered support and provides that court orders for child and spousal support issued on or after July 1, 1994, shall contain notice that the Department may do so. Under the new procedure, if there is a change in circumstances, the Department will propose a modified court order to the court which entered the order.

Either party may request a hearing, but if no hearing is requested the modified order becomes effective. However, the bill requires a hearing to be held even if no change is circumstances if found upon review by the Department if the original order deviated from the guidelines. Additionally, a hearing is required if the original order deviated from the the amount due under the guidelines by 10 %, but at least $25.
