The Unborn Child Support Act makes it possible for mothers to receive child support for their unborn children. It ensures that biological fathers can be held responsible for financial support even before the child is born.
Unborn Child Support Act This bill requires states to apply child support obligations to the time period during pregnancy. This requirement is applicable retroactively based on a court order at the request of the pregnant parent and a determination by a physician of the month during which the child was conceived. Existing state requirements are applicable to these obligations, such as proof of parenthood.
