Committee Reports
Follow up report on proposed OCA legislation regarding stipulations and agreements for child support in Family Court and matrimonial proceedings
SUMMARY
The Matrimonial Law Committee sent a letter to the Office of Court Administration to provide support for and comments on legislation proposed by the Family Court Advisory and Rules Committee. The proposal would amend the Family Court Act and Domestic Relations Law related to stipulations and agreements for child support in Family Court and matrimonial proceedings. The intention of the amendment is to address the procedures to be followed where the required Child Support and Standards Act (“CSSA”) language is omitted from an agreement regarding the payment of child support. The Committee supports the legislation, with one suggested drafting change.
