Child support; retroactivity provided for in certain circumstances

SB 47 would allow child support orders established within one year of a child's birth to include payments dating back nine months before the birth. This means courts could require parents to pay support for the final nine months of pregnancy and early infancy, covering costs like medical expenses. The bill directly affects parents and children in cases where support orders are set shortly after birth. It amends Alabama law to change the retroactivity period for these specific cases, replacing the previous two-year limit for past support.
