Replaces the terms father, mother, and filiation to gender neutral language; repealer

Summary

The bill rewrites dozens of sections of the Family Court Act and related laws, swapping gendered words like “father,” “mother,” and “filiation” for neutral terms such as “parentage,” “gestating parent,” and “non‑gestating parent.” It updates headings, procedural language, and related licensing penalties to reflect the new terminology. The changes affect courts, support magistrates, parents, children, and agencies that enforce child‑support orders.
