Child support; authorize certain unemancipated minors to bring suit against parents for.

HB 1022 would allow unemancipated minors under 18 in Mississippi to file a lawsuit in their local chancery court to seek child support from their parents. The court could order parents to pay a specific amount of support, potentially requiring a trustee (like the Mississippi Department of Human Services) to manage payments if the minor or parents receive public assistance. Support payments would generally end when the child turns 18, but could terminate earlier due to marriage, full-time military service, or incarceration. The bill also permits courts to consider both parents' incomes and order payments proportional to their financial ability.
