Maddy summaryThis bill (A 3531) creates a faster process for parents who already agree on child support amounts to formalize their agreement without court hearings. It allows family courts to hold "expedited settlement conferences" for cases where both parents voluntarily consent, excluding situations involving minor parents without lawyers, parentage disputes, protection orders, or spousal support. The process requires exchanging financial documents upfront but allows parties to waive further disclosure, with court staff calculating support using standard guidelines. If parents agree during the conference, they sign a binding agreement reviewed by a magistrate; if not, the case moves to a support magistrate.
