ANNOTATIONS

The 2005 amendment, effective June 17, 2005, deleted all former provisions which provided that a tribunal could order that the address of a child or party or other identifying information not be disclosed in a document filed in a proceeding under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act and added a provision requiring a tribunal to seal information if a party alleges that the health, safety or liberty of a party or a child will be jeopardized by disclosure of information and that permits the tribunal to disclose information after a hearing.
