Allows courts to order recurring payments from custodial to non-custodial parents in joint custody cases under specific conditions.
This bill amends the family court act and the domestic relations law to allow courts to order recurring payments from custodial to non-custodial parents in cases of joint or shared custody. These payments can be directed to the non-custodial parent or third parties on the child's behalf. The court may order such payments if the non-custodial parent has substantial parenting time, the custodial parent has significantly greater income, and the payment is necessary for the child's basic needs.
