Establishes provisions relating to child support obligations for unborn children

HB 2338 would allow courts to order fathers to pay child support retroactively for the pregnancy period, starting six weeks after conception (as determined by the mother's doctor), if the mother petitions within two years of the child's birth. It applies only after paternity is established for the biological father or a putative father (alleged father) formally claims paternity. The court would set payment amounts considering the mother and child's best interests, and a putative father who pays support can seek reimbursement from the actual biological father if paternity is later confirmed to belong to someone else. This bill directly affects fathers whose paternity is legally established and mothers seeking support for prenatal care and expenses.
