SB907,261 Section 261. 767.813 (5g) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB907,,899 767.813 (5g) Notice. The notice to parties shall be attached to the summons. The notice shall be in boldface type and in substantially the following form:

SB907,,900 NOTICE TO PARTIES

SB907,,901 1. You are a party to a petition for paternity parentage. A judgment of paternity parentage legally designates the child in the case to be a child of the man person found to be the father parent. It creates a legally recognized parent-child relationship between the man person and the child. It creates the right of inheritance for the child, and obligates the man person to support the child until the child reaches the age of 18, or the age of 19 if the child is enrolled full-time in high school or its equivalent. The failure by either parent to pay court-ordered support is punishable by imprisonment as a contempt of court or as a criminal violation.

SB907,,902 2. A party to a paternity parentage case has the right to be represented by an attorney. If you are unable to afford an attorney and you are a man person who is named as the possible father alleged parent of a child in a paternity parentage case, the court will appoint an attorney for you only if the results of one or more genetic tests show that you are not excluded as the father parent and that the statistical probability of your being the father parent is less than 99.0 percent. In order to determine whether you are entitled to have an attorney appointed for you, you may call the following telephone number .... .

SB907,,903 3. The petitioner in this case has the burden of proving by a clear and satisfactory preponderance of the evidence whether the man person named as the possible father alleged parent is the father parent. However, if genetic tests show that the man person named is not excluded as the father parent, and show that the statistical probability that the man person is the father parent is 99.0 percent or higher, that man person is rebuttably presumed to be the father parent.
