(a)
- (1) If the sixty (60) days has expired and no appeal is pending, the license will be suspended.
- (2) The noncustodial parent must enter into an installment agreement before the license will be reinstated.
- (3) Additionally, the noncustodial parent may avoid suspension or obtain reinstatement by paying the delinquency to an amount below three (3) months’ obligation.
(b)
- (1) In some instances, noncustodial parents may initiate action on their own accord resulting in a court order eliminating the presence of Condition 1 or 2 listed in 9 CAR § 5-501(b).
(2) If the noncustodial parent takes such action eliminating the threshold condition for license suspension prior to the effective date of the intended suspension, the responsible local Office of Child Support Enforcement office must upon notification notify the:
- (A) Central Office Program Support section to take action to set aside suspension activity on the case; and
- (B) Noncustodial parent accordingly.
(c)
- (1) Office of Child Support Enforcement Central Office staff is responsible for keying or requesting any suspensions or reinstatements of licenses and license plates.
- (2) If the noncustodial parent pays the arrearage below an amount equal to three (3) months’ obligation or the court enters a judgment on arrears, the license will be reinstated.
- (3) Following license suspension, the noncustodial parent may obtain license reinstatement by entering into an agreed order or written installment agreement with the Office of Child Support Enforcement as described in Office of Child Support Enforcement policy.
- (4) The agreed order or written installment agreement should contain a provision requiring a lump-sum payment in addition to requiring the periodic payment of current support and regular periodic payments on the arrearage/delinquency.
- (5) It is imperative that the Office of Child Support Enforcement Central Office be notified to immediately take necessary actions to restore the license or permanent license plate of the obligor when the condition warranting suspension has been removed.
(d)
- (1) In the event of fraud or mistake resulting in a wrongful suspension, the Office of Child Support Enforcement shall immediately notify the licensing authority involved to restore the license or permanent license plate of the noncustodial parent as appropriate.
- (2) When an enforcement case closes, the Office of Child Support Enforcement loses its authority to enforce the child support order.
- (3) Although the case may remain open for payment processing, the Office of Child Support Enforcement cannot take any action on the case to enforce or collect child support.
(4) Therefore, when an enforcement case is closed:
- (A) The Office of Child Support Enforcement cannot continue a license suspension action against the noncustodial parent; and
- (B) His or her licenses should be reinstated.
