CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT

Support Enforcement

Court based - When administrative enforcement processes are unsuccessful, the SCU will assist in preparing and filing a violation petition with the court requesting that the court enforce the order.

The court can:

• order mandatory money judgments for the arrears
• order the non-custodial parent into a work program
• order that a hearing take place to suspend state issued professional, business or occupational licenses
• or issue probation or jail sentences.
  

The New York State child support program provides custodial parents with assistance in obtaining financial support and medical insurance coverage for their children by locating parents, establishing paternity, establishing support orders, and collecting and distributing child support payments. This information changes periodically. Visit the www.newyorkchildsupport.com for up-to-date information.
