J. MILLARD TAWES, Governor                         1505

directed against any party to the proceeding, pertaining to the
custody and guardianship of the child, visitation privileges with
the child, the furnishing of bond, remaining in the State of Mary-
land, reporting changes of address, or any other matter which may
be for the general welfare and best interests of the child, to the
same extent and as fully as if the child were a legitimate child,
all in accordance with the inherent jurisdiction of courts of equity
over minors and the jurisdiction and power conferred by Section
66 of this Article and any provision of this subtitle.

(c)   The Court may also provide in the order the amount or
extent to which the mother of said child shall contribute to the
support and maintenance of the child, the expense of confinement
and recovery, funeral expenses and other expenses in connection
with her pregnancy, as well as the costs of the proceedings.

(d)  If the finding of the Court or jury, as the case may be, is in
favor of the defendant alleged to be the putative father, the Court
nevertheless may retain jurisdiction in the premises and take such
other and further proceedings on its own motion or otherwise, as
the Court may deem just and proper and in the best interests of
the child, including the entry of an appropriate order against the
mother of the child for the support and maintenance of the child,
allowing the impleading or joinder in the proceedings of any other
person who may be alleged to be father of said child, and any other
matter which may be in the best interest of said child.

(e)  No order shall be entered against any person under this sub-
title unless the person is or shall have been made a party to the
proceedings and after reasonable notice to such party and an op-
portunity to be heard.

(f)  No proceedings under this subtitle shall be dismissed volun-
tarily without the approval of the State's Attorney of the County
or city where they shall have been filed, except by an order of the
Court for good cause shown.

(g)  A declaration of paternity contained in any order is final and
not subject to the revisory power of the Court except in the manner
and to the extent that any other order or decree of a court of equity
in this State may be subject to the revisory power of the Court by
virtue of any statute, rule of court, or the established principals of
practice and procedure in equity. All other orders or parts of orders
in the proceedings are subject to the further order of the Court,
and the Court, from time to time thereafter, may annual, vary or
modify the orders as to the Court may seem just and proper in the
light of the then existing circumstances and in the best interests of
the child or children involved therein and also in accordance with
the power of modification as provided in Section 66 of this Article.

(H) UPON THE COMPLETION OF PROCEEDINGS FOR THE
DETERMINATION OF PATERNITY, THE COURT MAY, IN ITS
DISCRETION, ORDER THE CLERK TO SEAL ALL THE
PAPERS IN THE CASE AND THEY SHALL NOT THEREAFTER
BE OPENED EXCEPT UPON ORDER OF THE COURT. IN ANY
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS UNDER SUBSECTION (G) HEREOF
RELATING TO THE CHILD'S CUSTODY OR THE SUPPORT
PAYMENTS, THE PAPERS SHALL REMAIN SEALED UNLESS
THE COURT SHALL OTHERWISE DIRECT.
