An act relating to technical amendments to the child support statutes

This bill makes technical updates to Vermont's child support laws to align with other existing statutes and court rules. It directly affects parents, stepparents, and the Department for Children and Families involved in child support cases. The key changes allow courts to issue child support orders when parents live separately without requiring a finding of desertion, simplify parentage establishment by accepting legal presumptions or signed acknowledgments, repeal an outdated provision about a "man in the house," and clarify the definition of enforceable support orders. These amendments take effect on July 1, 2024.
