Authorizes expedited settlement conference processes for establishing child support orders
This bill creates a faster settlement process for parents who voluntarily agree to establish child support orders without a full court hearing. It allows family court staff to review financial documents and calculate support amounts based on state guidelines, provided both parents participate and waive further discovery. The process excludes cases involving unrepresented minor parents, disputes over who the parents are, protection orders, or requests for spousal support. If an agreement is reached, a support magistrate confirms the order; otherwise, the case moves to a standard hearing. The bill also mandates free interpreter services for parties who do not speak English and permits virtual conferences when resources allow.
