CHILDREN: Provides for the filiation of children. (8/1/24)

This bill clarifies how legal cases to determine a child's parentage are filed and processed in Louisiana. It specifies that these cases must be treated as standard civil lawsuits and can be handled on their own or alongside inheritance proceedings, but starting an inheritance case alone does not automatically start a parentage case. The law also states that these changes are meant to explain existing rules, adjust court procedures, and fix any resulting problems without altering the underlying legal principles.
