Custody & supportpaternityAI label
↓Restricts rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
Changes rules for ordering retroactive child support in paternity adjudications and acknowledgments, including a presumption of support from conception, so more obligations for the paying parent.
the court shall, on the request of a party and on a proper showing, order retroactive child support as provided by Section 154.131
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Code provisions to create a presumption that retroactive child support begins at the date of conception (rebuttable only in limited cases), requires confirmation of amounts and cumulative judgments, allows orders for prenatal/postnatal health expenses, and applies these changes to paternity orders and acknowledgments. This increases obligations for the paying parent, with no provisions expanding their rights. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
