Texas Senate Passes Bill Requiring Child Support from Conception, Sparking Fairness Debate

A new bill in the Texas Legislature, Senate Bill 942, is reigniting debate over the fairness of the child support system.

The bill proposes that fathers begin paying retroactive child support starting from the date of the child’s conception, rather than from birth.

The Texas Senate passed the bill with a 27-4 vote, and it now moves to the House for further consideration.

The proposed change has sparked discussions about the implications and fairness of adjusting the child support timeline.
