What happens if the support obligation as ordered by the court is not paid?
Maryland law allows The Baltimore County Office of Child Support Enforcement to initiate a court action when payments are delinquent. The law also provides additional non-court remedies to enforce delinquent support payments, such as tax refund intercepts, lottery intercepts, credit bureau reporting, referral to private collection agencies, and license suspensions. • If the non-custodial parent owes back child support for a child under the age of 18, are there other means to collect the arrears? Yes, the tax refund intercept program is automatically utilized each year as long as we have a social security number for the non-custodial parent. The IRS will intercept a federal income tax refund for child support arrears that equal $500 or more. The Maryland Comptrollers Office will intercept a state income tax refund on support arrears equal to $150 or more. This process begins in the Fall of each year. • Is there a fee for the tax intercept program? Yes, from the amount you receive, a fee
