↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Allows the Title IV-D agency to cease enforcement of child support arrearages if the obligee is incarcerated for family violence against the child, so the paying parent faces fewer enforcement actions in that circumstance.
The Title IV-D agency may cease child support enforcement services against an obligor for child support arrearages if the obligee is confined in a local, state, or federal jail or prison for an offense constituting an act of family violence committed against a child covered by the child support order.

Custody & supportchild supportAI label
↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Authorizes the Title IV-D agency to administratively adjust (typically lower) a child support obligor's support obligation based on net resources during incarceration of 180+ days, with review procedures, so the paying parent has lower obligations while incarcerated.
on verification by the Title IV-D agency that a judgment or order has been rendered for the confinement of a child support obligor in a local, state, or federal jail or prison for a period of at least 180 consecutive days, the Title IV-D agency shall review and may administratively adjust the obligor's child support, medical support, and dental support order to amounts that are based on the application of the child support guidelines under Chapter 154 to the obligor's net resources during incarceration.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes multiple changes to Title IV-D child support administration, collection, modification, and enforcement procedures. It expands the paying parent's position by allowing cessation of enforcement against an obligor when the obligee is jailed for family violence against the child and by permitting administrative reduction of support obligations during the obligor's incarceration. It restricts the paying parent's position by eliminating the statute-of-limitations barrier to confirming and enforcing arrearages via administrative orders. Other provisions are procedural, technical, or do
