Support for pregnancy and childbirth expenses.

Abstract

Provides, for purposes of the obligation of a father whose paternity of a child has been established to pay at least 50% of the mother's pregnancy and childbirth expenses, that pregnancy and childbirth expenses include health insurance premiums paid by the mother with respect to the mother's pregnancy and the child's birth. Establishes a duration within which a pregnancy and childbirth expense must be incurred in order for the obligation to apply to the expense. Creates a civil right of action, independent of a civil action to establish paternity, by which the mother of a child may enforce the obligation.
