Section 598.1, subsection 9, Code Supplement 1997, 1 11 is amended to read as follows: 1 12 9. "Support" or "support payments" means an amount which 1 13 the court may require either of the parties to pay under a 1 14 temporary order or a final judgment or decree, and may include 1 15 alimony, child support, maintenance, and any other term used 1 16 to describe these obligations. For orders entered on or after 1 17 July 1, 1990, unless the court specifically orders otherwise, 1 18 medical support is not included in the monetary amount of 1 19 child support. The obligations shall include support for a 1 20 childwho is between the ages of eighteen andthrough nineteen 1 21 yearswhoof age if the child is engaged full-time in 1 22 completing high school graduation or equivalency requirements 1 23in a manner which is reasonably expected to result in1 24completion of the requirements prior to the person reaching1 25nineteen years of age;and may include support for a child of 1 26 any age who is dependent on the parties to the dissolution 1 27 proceedings because of physical or mental disability. 1 28 EXPLANATION 1 29 This bill provides that child support shall be provided to 1 30 a child through 19 years of age if the child is engaged full- 1 31 time in completing high school graduation or equivalency 1 32 requirements. The bill eliminates current language which 1 33 requires that the graduation or equivalency requirements be 1 34 reasonably expected to be completed prior to the child 1 35 reaching 19 years of age, thereby allowing the child to 2 1 complete the requirements through the child's 19th year. The 2 2 bill also makes a conforming change in the chapter of the Code 2 3 relating to review and adjustment of child support orders. 2 4 LSB 3141SS 77 2 5 pf/sc/14
