§ 301.1

*Agent of a Child* means a caretaker relative having custody of or responsibility for the child.

*Attorney of a Child* means a licensed lawyer who has entered into an attorney-client relationship with either the child or the child's resident parent to provide legal representation to the child or resident parent related to establishment of paternity, or the establishment, modification, or enforcement of child support.
