House Bill 1365 amends provisions of the Family Code relating to the establishment, modification, and enforcement of child support. The bill provides for technical corrections and procedural changes recommended by the office of the attorney general's child support division to strengthen enforcement of support obligations and to improve procedures used to determine parentage. The bill also provides for the continuation of the duty to pay child support after the death of the obligee and refers to medical support, rather than health insurance coverage, provided by the obligor in addition to child support. It authorizes a court to order the abeyance of the enforcement of child support arrearages under certain conditions and amends provisions relating to child support lien and levy processes.
House Bill 1365 amends the Finance Code to provide for the registration and regulation by the Texas Department of Banking of private child support enforcement agencies.
