Bill Caption
Relating to procedures in a suit for dissolution of a marriage or a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, there are various procedures for suits involving divorce and property. SB 1237 would increase legal protections for parties during the transference of property in a divorce proceeding and increase protection for a child in a suit affecting a parent-child relationship. It would also modify when a court may impose orders on a party.
Vote Recommendation Notes
SB 1237 is a mostly procedural bill that modifies the existing procedures relating to divorce proceedings and on the whole neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles. For this reason, we are neutral.
