  1  4    "Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  595.4A  MARITAL
  1  5 AGREEMENTS.
  1  6    It is the policy of this state that parties who are
  1  7 married or who are entering into a marriage contract
  1  8 may fashion their own marital commitments beyond the
  1  9 requirements of this chapter and to the extent not
  1 10 otherwise prohibited under law.  The parties may
  1 11 individualize their marriage contract by entering into
  1 12 special agreements such as premarital agreements and
  1 13 other civil contracts.  The parties may fashion their
  1 14 own marital commitments by, but not limited to,
  1 15 agreeing to premarital or marital counseling with any
  1 16 other person, or to specific grounds for dissolution,
  1 17 notwithstanding any other law to the contrary.
  1 18 However, the parties shall not fashion their marital
  1 19 commitments to include any provision that precludes
  1 20 the child support recovery unit from securing an order
  1 21 for support for a child as provided pursuant to
  1 22 chapter 252A, 252B, 252C, 252E, 252F, 252H, or 252K,
  1 23 or any other applicable chapter or that otherwise
  1 24 precludes the establishment of a child support order."
  1 25    #2.  Title page, lines 1 and 2, by striking the
