Family Law - Child Support - Determination of Custody and Agreements Between Parents

Summary

The bill makes courts decide who has custody before setting child support when a parent asks and there is no prior custody order. It also creates a rule that if both parents agree an arrangement is best for the child, the standard support guidelines are presumed unfair and can be set aside. Courts must explain any departure in writing.
