HB 59 Terry, Marlene
HB 59 -- CHILD SUPPORT AND CUSTODY
SPONSOR: Terry
This bill raises the age until which parental support obligations for children attending a secondary school program shall continue from 21 to 22. The bill requires a noncustodial parent to maintain meaningful contact with a child when requesting receipt of grades when the intent is to seek termination of payment of support as outlined in the bill.
The bill limits access to records and information for minor children when a noncustodial parent has failed to maintain contact for a period of six years or more. The bill also removes visitation rights for noncustodial parents that have failed to maintain contact with a child for a period of six years or more.
This bill is similar to HB 1775 (2022) and HB 787 (2021).
