Custody & supportotherAI label
=No change to rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 80%
States that the amendment is intended only to clarify existing law regarding best interest of the child in governmental suits under Subtitle E, with no substantive change to custody or support rules.
Section 153.002, Family Code, as amended by this Act, is intended only to clarify existing law with respect to the court's consideration of the best interest of the child in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship filed by a governmental entity under Subtitle E, Title 5, Family Code.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill clarifies that the best interest of the child is the primary consideration in child welfare suits filed by a governmental entity (Subtitle E), but per the topic guidelines this is out of scope for custody-support tags as it addresses state-initiated child-protective cases rather than disputes between parents or with third parties; however, the explicit clarification language and intent section support neutral tags for custody-parenting-time and other as they reference conservatorship, possession, and access without altering any standards.
