Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Amends GS 110-136.3(a)(4a), providing that a non-IV-D child support order that contains an income withholding requirement and a IV-D child support order must require the NC Child Support Enforcement agency to provide, or to allow the obligor to obtain through the NC Child Support Centralized database, the current residence and mailing address of the custodial party, or the current residence and mailing address of the child, if the addresses are different. A form provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts will be supplied by the clerk of court to enable the obligor to proceed pro se pursuant to this subsection.

Establishes that there is no requirement that the court authorize the obligor to have access to the current residence and mailing address of the custodial party if the court has determined that providing the address to the obligor is inappropriate because of threats constituting domestic violence (previously, only provided a notice and not address).

Adds additional situations where the requirement to give access to the residence or address to the obligor is not required, including that the child is in foster care, protective custody, or a court-ordered placement, or disclosure of the address is otherwise prohibited by state or federal law.
