HB 1372 Child support enforcement; paternity.

Introduced by: Robert F. McDonnell | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Child support enforcement; paternity. Clarifies provisions governing voluntary acknowledgments of paternity which were added last year. The bill provides that either party has the right to rescind the acknowledgment within 60 days from the date it was signed and that, within the 60-day period, the acknowledgment may be rescinded at an administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the child in an action to which the party seeking rescission was a party. During the 60-day rescission period, other means of establishing paternity may be used. The bill expands the duty of parties to provide change of address and change of employment information and to require that the court be advised if support payments are being made directly to an obligee and not through the Department of Social Services.
