Unborn Child Support Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill says that states must require child support payments to cover the time period when a mother is pregnant, not just after the baby is born. The pregnant parent can ask a court to order this support going back to the start of the pregnancy, based on a doctor's determination of when the child was conceived. The same state rules that normally apply to child support, like proving who the parent is, would also apply to these payments.
