Bill overview
This bill, the Child Support from Conception Act, amends West Virginia law to include expenses related to pregnancy and childbirth as part of child support payments for non-custodial parents. Specifically, it expands the definition of ‘medical care’ to encompass costs associated with the prenatal and postnatal care of a child, ensuring that non-custodial parents contribute to these expenses as part of their child support obligations. This aims to provide greater financial support for children from the very beginning of their lives.
