Highlight

The State has standing and is a real party in interest in child support proceedings if the State was initially a real party in interest in the action because the child received public assistance, the obligee assigned his or her right to child support to the State, the child support services case remained open after the child was no longer receiving public assistance, and the obligee has never requested the child support services case be closed.
A judgment that relieves an obligor of any current or future duty of child support and limits the power of the court to modify future child support is void and may not be enforced.
