SB464,261 Section 261 . 767.813 (5g) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB464,115,2 767.813 (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:

SB464,115,3 NOTICE TO PARTIES

SB464,115,11 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.

SB464,115,19 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 .... .

SB464,115,25 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.

SB464,116,5 4. You may request genetic tests which will indicate the probability that the man person named as the possible father alleged parent is or is not the father parent of the child. The court will order genetic tests on a request by you, the state, or any other party. Any person who refuses to take court-ordered genetic tests may be punished for contempt of court.

SB464,116,6 5. The following defenses are available in a paternity parentage case:

SB464,116,8 (a) The man person named as a possible father an alleged parent of the child may claim that he the person was sterile or impotent at the time of conception.

SB464,116,12 (b) The mother may claim that she, or the man named as a possible father parent or the alleged parent may claim that he, the parent and alleged parent did not have sexual intercourse with the each other party during the conceptive period (generally the period 8 to 10 months before the birth of the child).

SB464,116,15 (c) The mother or the man named as a possible father parent or alleged parent may claim that another man person had sexual intercourse with the mother parent during the conceptive period.

SB464,116,17 6. You have the right to request a jury trial on the issue of whether the named man alleged parent is the father parent.

SB464,116,20 7. If you fail to appear at any stage of the proceeding, including a scheduled court-ordered genetic test, the court may enter a default judgment finding the man claimed to be the father named alleged parent as the father parent.

SB464,116,22 8. You must keep the clerk of court and child support agency informed of your current address at all times.

SB464,262 Section 262 . 767.815 (2) (a) and (b) of the statutes are amended to read:

SB464,117,2 767.815 (2) (a) There are reasonable grounds to believe that before the time for service under s. 801.02 (1) or sub. (1) expired the respondent knew that the mother was pregnant about the pregnancy and that the respondent may be the father parent.

SB464,117,4 (b) Due diligence was exercised in attempting to serve the respondent, before he the respondent was actually served.

SB464,263 Section 263 . 767.82 (2m) and (4) of the statutes are amended to read:
