Title:

Child support-income withholding amendments.

Subject:

Costs of
mailing income withholding notices.

Summary/Major
Elements:

Under current law, the obligee (the person entitled to receive the child
support) is responsible for the cost of mailing an income withholding order to
the obligor's employer.

This bill eliminates the obligee's statutory responsibility for paying
the cost of mailing the income withholding order. The costs of mailing the
notice would be borne by the department of family services if the department is
involved in the action. Otherwise, the court will decide the responsibility for
payment of the mailing costs.
