Administrative & Judicial Review of DOR Child Support Enforcement Actions

The Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Division has authority to use a wide range of enforcement actions to compel payment of child support-from simply charging interest and penalties on arrears, to revoking a professional license. Many child support recipients aren’t sure whether they should use DOR child support related services. Understanding DOR’s authority and what it can do to help support recipients receive the support to which they are entitled is important to helping your client make that decision. Likewise, at some point every family law practitioner receives a call from a payor of support who needs to know what they can do to challenge an action taken by DOR: They are behind in support, and DOR has threatened to levy a joint account with a family member. Or they need to re-new their passport but can’t do it until DOR removes them from the passport denial list.

Join the panel of experts as we explore the myriad tools available to DOR to enforce child support orders and learn how and when DOR actions can be challenged.
