Pennsylvania HB1182 amends Title 23 to allow biological mothers to seek support from biological fathers for unborn children.

Pennsylvania HB1182 amends Title 23 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to allow a biological mother to commence a support action for an unborn child from the biological father. Courts must order and enforce support obligations based on the mother's request and the father's financial ability. Support can start retroactively, even if paternity is established after birth. The law does not apply to biological fathers who terminated parental rights for semen donation. Support can be terminated if the mother is no longer pregnant or if the biological father is not the genetic father.
