Pennsylvania HB1182 establishes legal support obligations for unborn children.

Pennsylvania HB1182 amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to include provisions for the support of unborn children. A biological mother can initiate a support action for financial assistance from the biological father. Courts can enforce these obligations based on the mother's request and the father's financial capacity. Support obligations can start from the first prenatal medical visit and may be retroactively collected if paternity is established post-birth.
