Texas HB4869 modifies child support orders based on parental child safety placement agreements or authorization agreements with adult caregivers.

Texas HB4869 amends the Family Code to allow courts to modify child support orders. This modification can occur if the sole managing conservator or the joint managing conservator with exclusive primary residence rights has voluntarily relinquished care, been incarcerated, entered into an authorization agreement, or entered into a parental child safety placement agreement. The person with physical possession of the child for at least six months can then receive and disburse child support payments.
