Overview
This bill aims to modernize the process of establishing and enforcing child support orders in California. It shifts the requirement for submitting personal information from court orders to a secure, confidential electronic portal managed by the Department of Child Support Services. Payments will be directed to the State Disbursement Unit, and courts will be required to deem all child support orders as applications for Title IV-D services. The bill also emphasizes providing information to obligors and obligees about available child support services and allows obligees to opt out of Title IV-D assistance.
