The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6503, aims to enhance the procedures within the family court system by amending chapter 815j of the general statutes. Key provisions include the requirement for an in-person or remote status conference to be scheduled within ten business days of a request, the court's review and approval of legal fees, and a mandate for parties involved in a case to provide written disclosure of any changes in employment or financial status to the opposing party within two weeks of such changes.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that attorney's fees will be determined based on the percentage difference between each party's adjusted gross income as reported in their last filing with the Internal Revenue Service. These changes are intended to streamline processes and ensure transparency and fairness in the family court system.
