Bill Analysis
This bill would slightly modify the obligations of the court in lawsuits related to the dissolution of marriage. Under current law, while the suit is pending a receiver is appointed to preserve and protect the private property of both parties.
HB 2703 would require that within 30 days of appointing a receiver, the court must issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of the appointment. In addition, if as a result of the appointment the court determines that a bond between the spouses is not necessary the court would have to include a written explanation for the decision.
