How does the child support agency collect arrears?
The child support agency may take certain enforcement actions to collect support. Enforcement actions include: – Federal and State tax refund intercepts – Lottery winnings intercept – Passport denial – Credit bureau reporting – License suspension – Driver’s license – Occupational license – Recreational license – Student grant holds – Financial institution data match The child support agency has the right to decide what action to take on your case and to decide which county is best able to provide services to you. If all other enforcement actions have been unsuccessful, the county may ask the court to find the obligor in constructive civil contempt. What is the attorney/applicant relationship? Applying for support services does not create an attorney/client relationship between you and the child support attorney. The child support attorney represents the child support agency. You have the right to your own attorney and may hire one at any time. You may also decide to represent yourself.
