Authorizes voluntary expedited settlement conferences to establish child support orders by agreement, with required guidelines worksheet and court confirmation, for cases not involving disputes over income or other excluded matters.
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 a voluntary expedited settlement conference process in family court solely to establish agreed child support orders consistent with guidelines. It excludes certain cases (e.g., parentage, DV orders, spousal support, public welfare actions), requires financial disclosure and IV-D application, informs parties of rights and modification rules, and mandates data reporting. No changes to support calculation, amounts, duration, enforcement, paternity, custody, alimony or other custody-support subtags; purely procedural facilitation of voluntary agreements.
