AI Summary

  • Modifies recognition of parentage to allow custody and parenting time actions without adjudication of parentage, with mother retaining sole custody until a temporary or permanent order is entered.

  • Updates recognition form requirements to clearly state that recognition does not establish enforceable custody or parenting time rights and must include notice regarding limitations, finality, and revocation procedures.

  • Changes potential income determination for child support from "full time at 150 hours per week" to "30 hours per week" at minimum wage for parents without verifiable employment.

  • Allows courts to deviate from presumptive child support obligations and elect not to order basic support for parties with 10-45 percent parenting time when significant income disparity exists that would be detrimental to the child.

  • Establishes new requirement for public authorities to report obligors in arrears (unpaid for three consecutive months) to consumer reporting agencies, with 30-day notice and 21-day opportunity for obligor to pay or request administrative review.
