Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a voluntary pilot program to help noncustodial parents (who pay support) with employment and other services as an alternative or supplement to standard child support enforcement remedies, which expands rights/fewer obligations for the paying/less-custodial parent; it also requires reporting on reduced use of enforcement remedies.
