Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 674 amends provisions of the Family Code to provide for modification of a child support order for an obligor that has been called into active military service. The bill authorizes a modification if the active military service is for at least 30 consecutive days and results in a decrease in the obligor's net resources during the period of service. The bill requires a motion for modification filed by an obligor to be accompanied by an affidavit from the obligor's commanding officer and also provides that the return of an obligor from military service constitutes grounds for an obligee to file a motion for modification of the child support order.
