MS SB2132

Requires defendants convicted of aggravated DUI resulting in death to pay child support to the victim's minor children until each child reaches 21 years of age

Courts must determine support amounts based on factors including the child's financial needs, standard of living, educational needs, the deceased parent's wage-earning capacity, and any existing civil judgments

Child support payments must be made to the clerk of court, who then remits funds to the surviving parent or guardian within three working days

Defendants incarcerated and unable to pay may delay payments up to one year after release and enter payment plans for arrearages

Support payments continue until the full amount is paid regardless of the child's age, and any subsequent civil judgment against the defendant offsets the support order
