AL HB100

Grants juvenile courts jurisdiction over adoption proceedings when transferred from probate court, replacing language requiring "removal" with "transferred" and requiring such transfers to be "as provided by law."

Establishes juvenile court jurisdiction to establish, modify, or enforce support, visitation, or custody when a juvenile court has previously established parentage.

Authorizes juvenile courts to modify or enforce child and spousal support in cases brought under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, including the Alabama Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.

Provides that juvenile courts retain jurisdiction to enforce or modify prior orders of the juvenile court in any case where it has jurisdiction, and allows contempt remedies including jail incarceration for individuals 18 years or older who fail to comply with monetary orders.

Applies retroactively to validate all juvenile court orders issued between January 1, 2009, and the act's effective date; preserves existing circuit court jurisdiction over custody, visitation, and support issues in cases filed during that same period.
