Unborn Child Support Act

The Unborn Child Support Act would allow a pregnant parent to receive child support payments during pregnancy. Under this bill, states would be required to permit courts to award child support retroactively to the date of conception, as determined by a physician.

For citizens, this means that a mother could seek financial assistance from the biological father for expenses incurred before the child is born. The bill mandates that these obligations be subject to the same proof-of-parenthood requirements as existing child support laws, and it grants judges the discretion to determine the specific payment amounts.
