to both parties, with service of the automatic
orders to be made with service of process of a
petition for child support. An automatic order shall
not apply if there is a prior, contradictory order
of a judicial authority. The automatic orders shall

application), and with regard to the respondent,
upon service and shall remain in place during the
pendency of the action, unless terminated, modified, or amended by further order of a judicial
authority upon motion of either of the parties:
(1) Neither party shall cause the other party or
the children who are the subject of the complaint,
application or petition to be removed from any
medical, hospital and dental insurance coverage,
and each party shall maintain the existing medical,
hospital and dental insurance coverage in full
force and effect.
(b) The automatic orders of a judicial authority
as enumerated in subsection (a) shall be set forth
immediately following the party’s requested relief
in any complaint, petition or application, and shall
set forth the following language in bold letters: If
you do not follow or obey these orders you
may be punished by contempt of court. If you
object to these orders or would like to have
them changed or modified while your case is
pending, you have the right to a hearing by a
judicial authority within a reasonable time. The
clerk shall not accept for filing any complaint, petition or application that does not comply with
this subsection.
