No change to rights of the paying or noncustodial parent model confidence 70%

Extends the time to appeal a judicial sale of property in divorce proceedings before the purchaser's title is disturbed, making it easier for parties in divorce cases to challenge such sales.

If a sale of property is made under a decree of a court pursuant to a divorce and such sale is confirmed, the title of the purchaser at such sale shall not be disturbed unless appealed within the time allowed by § 8.01-675.3 and, pursuant to the appeal, the sale is set aside by the trial court and a decree is therein afterwards entered requiring such sale to be set aside.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends rules on when a purchaser's title from a judicial sale (including in divorce proceedings) can be disturbed, updating a time limit from 'twelve' to '12' months and specifying appeal rules under § 8.01-675.3 for divorce cases. This touches custody-support/other because judicial sales often divide marital property in divorce, but it makes no change to custody, parenting time, support calculations, alimony, or related rights/obligations between parents, so both provisions are neutral.
