Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Court Act §439(e) to alter time limits for appeals and objections in family court cases, specifically lengthening objection periods and modifying service rules for child support, paternity, and parentage proceedings. This provides more time for the paying/less-custodial parent to contest determinations, expanding their rights under the custody-support axis. The excerpt cuts off but the title and changes confirm the direction; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
