Fathers Must Pay 50% of Pregnancy and Delivery Medical Costs.

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Biological fathers are required to pay at least 50% of the mother's out-of-pocket medical costs incurred during pregnancy and delivery (e.g., insurance, co-pays, deductibles). The mother must request this support for the state to establish and enforce the child support obligation. Expenses associated with abortion are explicitly excluded from this new financial requirement.

This law establishes a new child support requirement mandating biological fathers to cover at least 50% of the mother's reasonable out-of-pocket medical expenses related to pregnancy and delivery, including insurance premiums and co-pays. This change aims to alleviate the financial burden on mothers during this critical period. The obligation is established only if the mother formally requests the payment.
