Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends procedures for the timing of appeals and objections to support magistrate rulings in family court matters, including child support and paternity. These are procedural changes with no substantive effect on parental rights, obligations, custody standards, support calculations, or enforcement, so all tags are neutral. No other listed topics are addressed.
