Amendment to HB 1282-FN
Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following:
1 Parental Rights and Responsibilities; Support. Amend RSA 461-A:14, IV to read as follows:
IV. The amount of a child support obligation shall remain as stated in the order until the dependent child for whom support is ordered [completes his or her high school education or reaches the age of 18 years, whichever is later, or] marries, or becomes a member of the armed services, or is emancipated pursuant to an order of emancipation under RSA 461-B, or reaches the age of 18 years, unless the child is still a full-time student at a secondary or elementary school, charter school, or a home education program in conformity with RSA 193-a at the age of 18, then child support shall continue until the child graduates or until 2 months after the child reaches the age of 19, whichever is first, at which time the child support obligation, including all educational support obligations, [terminates] shall terminate without further legal action. If the parties have a child with disabilities, the court may initiate or continue the child support obligation after the child reaches the age of 18. No child support order for a child with disabilities which becomes effective after July 9, 2013 may continue after the child reaches age 21 or no longer qualifies as a child with a disability, as defined in RSA 186-C:2, I, who is receiving special education or special education and related services as identified by the child's school district.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2025.
