↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
Prevents the state from establishing a child support order when the applicant or recipient has good cause to refuse to cooperate, so fewer obligations to establish support for the parent receiving aid.
When the applicant or recipient has established good cause to refuse to cooperate, the social services district shall take no action to establish paternity or a child support order.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds provisions to social services law that, upon a showing of good cause to refuse cooperation, direct the social services district to take no action to establish paternity or a child support order for applicants or recipients of aid to dependent children or safety net assistance. This changes the rules for public assistance cases between parents (or between a parent and the state acting on behalf of the child), expanding rights for the less-custodial or paying parent by reducing forced establishment of paternity and support obligations.
