Delaware HB341 amends child support laws to exempt certain parents from paying for children in state care unless reunification is not feasible.
Delaware HB341 amends Title 29 of the Delaware Code to change the liability for child support payments. Specifically, it exempts parents from paying for children in the care of the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families unless the Family Court determines that such payments would not hinder reunification efforts. The bill also allows the Department to recover necessary funds in court and mandates that all collected fees be deposited into the General Fund. This change applies to liabilities incurred after the bill's effective date.
