Miscellaneous paternity and support changes
Under current law, an order for child or family support or maintenance is an
automatic assignment of wages or other earnings to the clerk of court. When a
support or maintenance order is entered, the court must send notice of the
assignment by regular mail to a payer's employer or other person who owes the payer
money, requiring withholding of the amount provided in the support order. The
support and withholding orders may be expressed as a fixed sum, as a percentage of
income or as both in the alternative, requiring payment of the greater or lesser
amount. If the payer is entitled to unemployment compensation, however, the order
to withhold benefits must be for an amount certain.
This bill authorizes the court to send notice of assignment by facsimile machine
or other electronic means in addition to regular mail. Orders for the withholding of
unemployment compensation may be expressed as a fixed sum, as a percentage of
benefits payable or as both in the alternative, requiring payment of the greater or
lesser amount. Notices of assignment for withholding must include the information
that the maximum amount withheld may not exceed the maximum amount that is
subject to garnishment under federal law.
Under current law, if the petitioner in a paternity action fails to appear at a
pretrial hearing or at the trial, the court may dismiss the action. If the respondent
in a paternity action is the alleged father and he fails to appear for a court-ordered
genetic test or a hearing at which an appearance is required, the court must
adjudicate the respondent to be the father. The bill provides that, if the mother of
the child in a paternity action fails to appear for a court-ordered genetic test or a
hearing at which an appearance is required, the court may adjudicate the alleged
father, or the man who alleges that he is the father, to be the father of the child if there
is sufficient evidence for such a finding.
Under current law, tax returns are open to examination by state employes for
the purpose of administering the child and spousal support program. The purpose
of that program, which is administered by DWD, is to establish paternity and to
establish, revise if appropriate and enforce support obligations. This bill provides
that employes of county child support agencies may also examine tax returns for the
purpose of administering the child and spousal support program. The county child
support agencies administer the program at the local level.
This bill makes 3 changes to the paternity statutes. Under current law, a court
must order genetic tests in a paternity matter upon the request of a party if there is
probable cause to believe that any of the males in the action had sexual intercourse
with the child's mother at the possible time of conception. Probable cause may be
shown by a sufficient petition or affidavit of the mother. This bill adds that probable
cause may also be shown by a sufficient petition or affidavit of an alleged father or
by sworn testimony of the mother or an alleged father. Under current law, a court
may not make a temporary order for support, legal custody or physical placement in
a paternity matter unless the alleged father has been adjudicated to be the father,
or unless the alleged father is presumed to be the father because he and the child's
mother married after the birth of the child but had a relationship during the time in
which the child was conceived or because he and the child's mother were married
when the child was conceived or born but have since divorced. This bill provides that
the court must make a temporary order for child support and may make a temporary
order assigning responsibility for and directing the manner of payment of the child's
health care expenses, upon the motion of a party, if genetic tests do not exclude the
alleged father and show that the statistical probability of his parentage is 99% or
higher. The bill also provides that bills for articles or services related to the
pregnancy, childbirth or genetic testing may be admitted into evidence and are
sufficient evidence in themselves to show those expenses.
Under current law, interest of 1.5% per month accrues on child support that is
not paid on time, beginning on the first day of the 2nd month after the month in which
the payment was due. This bill changes the time at which the interest begins to
accrue to the first day of the 4th month beginning after the month in which the
payment was due.
Under current law, a person who requests a 2nd or subsequent series of genetic
tests in a paternity action may be required to pay for the tests in advance. The bill
provides that the judge or family court commissioner hearing the matter must
require the person to pay for the tests in advance unless the judge or family court
commissioner finds the person to be indigent.
The bill makes a few other minor changes to the child support statutes,
including: requiring the addition of children's social security numbers to petitions
filed in actions affecting the family (currently only the parties' social security
numbers are required), requiring child support that is received to be credited first
to the payment of support that is due within the calendar month during which it is
received (currently support received is credited first to the payment of support that
is due within the calendar month during which it is withheld from income), requiring
persons (usually employers) who withhold child support from a payer's income to
report to the clerk of court the gross amount of income from which the child support
was withheld and providing that support under an existing order for a child who is
later placed in a state institution is assigned to the state (currently the statutes
provide that a court may order that support be paid to the institution if the child is
in an institution when the support is first ordered).
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
