NY S05269

Authorizes family courts to develop expedited settlement conference processes for parents who agree on child support amounts and voluntarily participate in the process.

Excludes cases involving minor unrepresented parents, parentage determinations, domestic violence orders of protection, or cases with spousal support claims.

Requires parties to exchange financial affidavits, with court staff calculating child support obligations using guidelines worksheets and reviewing the child support standards chart with both parties.

Allows agreements reached in expedited conferences to be confirmed by a support magistrate on the same day and become enforceable court orders; parties who don't reach agreement are referred to a support magistrate for continued proceedings.

Requires court administration to publish annual reports on expedited conference operation and outcomes, including number of orders established, average processing time, cases excluded due to orders of protection, and termination rates.
