Bill > HB2144

This bill amends Arizona law regarding child support to include provisions for "preborn children," which is defined as the offspring of human beings from conception until birth. Specifically, it allows courts to order child support for medical and pregnancy-related expenses of the mother of a preborn child, with the amount of support not exceeding these direct expenses, and clarifies that pregnancy-related expenses do not include those related to an elective abortion. The bill also establishes that child support calculations for a preborn child will begin from the date of a positive pregnancy test confirmed by a healthcare professional, and that the total child support ordered for a preborn child cannot exceed the mother's direct medical and pregnancy-related expenses.
