Two changes make up this bill. First, it adds a new provision specifying that when a child involved in an abuse, neglect, or dependency case is placed with a relative (other than the child's other parent) by either the juvenile court or the Division of Child and Family Services, the state's Office of Recovery Services must automatically waive that parent's child support obligation — without needing a court order — if the parent falls into a low-income category or relies solely on means-tested government assistance such as Social Security income or cash assistance. Second, it rewrites the rules around challenging a legal father's presumed parentage during divorce proceedings, clarifying that a presumed father can now directly rebut his parentage by submitting genetic test results excluding him as the biological father, though if the birth mother disputes those results, the court must order independent genetic testing.
