=No change to rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 70%
The bill amends and adds provisions on amicus attorneys and attorney ad litem roles, duties, immunities, and removal specifically in suits affecting the parent-child relationship, altering legal procedures without changing the underlying rights or obligations of paying or less-custodial parents.
AN ACT relating to special appointments in suits affecting the parent-child relationship.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses only custody-support by amending Family Code Chapter 107 on appointments of amicus attorneys and attorneys ad litem in private suits affecting the parent-child relationship (which include custody, parenting time, and support disputes). It reorganizes roles, adds qualifications, duties, conflict rules, removal standards, and immunity provisions. These are procedural changes with no clear net effect expanding or restricting the rights of the paying or less-custodial parent versus their obligations, so direction is neutral. No other listed topics are substantively
