Key Takeaways

  • •It applies to any case about child or spousal support, health insurance, custody, or visitation.
  • •It works for divorce, annulment, legal separation, or exclusive child custody cases.
  • •It also covers cases under the Uniform Parentage Act and the Domestic Violence Prevention Act.

Example

A couple gets divorced and the mom asks the dad to pay child support and share health insurance for their kids.

Because the case is about ending a marriage and includes child support and health insurance, this rule says the court must follow the same procedures it uses for all similar divorce cases.
