This bill modifies child support and medical support orders in Iowa when custody changes.

This bill allows a party obligated to pay child support or medical support to file an objection to an ex parte order suspending support within fifteen days. The court can enter an ex parte order suspending support if custody is placed with the obligor. The court can also terminate the suspension if custody is returned to the party owed support. The bill requires the Supreme Court to prescribe a standard form for these applications and mandates that any filing fees or court costs for modifications are waived.
