Authorizes voluntary expedited settlement conferences to establish child support orders by agreement, with financial disclosure and guidelines worksheet, allowing faster issuance of support orders without full litigation.
To authorize the development of expedited settlement conference processes in each family court to facilitate the establishment of child support orders pursuant to section four hundred thirteen of this article consistent with the state's child support guidelines for parents who agree on child support and seek to voluntarily engage in a settlement conference, expedited settlement conferences shall be authorized and developed pursuant to this section.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds procedures for voluntary expedited settlement conferences to establish agreed child support orders using guidelines, with exclusions and reporting; it facilitates but does not alter the underlying rights, obligations, calculation, or modification standards for the paying/less-custodial parent, so neutral on the custody-support axis. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
