Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes only procedural and notice-related changes to orders and judgments in suits affecting the parent-child relationship, focused on child support enforcement and modification actions. These provisions are technical/neutral on the custody-support axis as they do not alter substantive rights, obligations, presumptions, calculations, or enforcement penalties for the paying or less-custodial parent.
