↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Eliminates the suspension of driver's, professional, and recreational licenses as a penalty for failing to pay child support or spousal support or for failing to comply with related court orders, so the paying parent faces fewer consequences for nonpayment.
AN ACT to amend the domestic relations law, the vehicle and traffic law, the social services law, the family court act, the alcoholic beverage control law, the education law, the judiciary law, the real property law and the insurance law, in relation to eliminating the requirement of the suspension of driver's licenses, professional licenses or recreational licenses for failing to pay child support; and to repeal certain provisions of the insurance law relating thereto
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill removes license suspension mechanisms previously used to enforce child support and spousal support obligations and related court compliance, thereby reducing obligations and consequences on the paying/less-custodial parent. It does not alter custody standards, parenting time, support calculations, paternity rules, alimony amounts, or third-party visitation rights, and it excludes state child-welfare cases.
