IN SB0206

Clarifies that the 12-month waiting period for child support modification petitions applies only to orders that actually established, modified, or denied modification of child support amounts on the merits.

Excludes orders dealing solely with custody, parenting time, or other ancillary issues from resetting the 12-month waiting period, even if those orders reference child support.

Orders that merely construe or interpret an existing child support order do not count as the triggering order for the 12-month timeline.

Effective date: July 1, 2019.
