Statutory Authority

 

Utah Code 26B-9-104(1) requires the Office of Recovery Services/Child Support Services (ORS/CSS):

“(h) to establish and maintain the state case registry in the manner required by the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 654a, which shall include a record in each case of:

(i) the amount of monthly or other periodic support owed under the order, and other amounts, including arrearages, interest, late payment penalties, or fees, due or overdue under the order;

(ii) any amount described in Subsection (1)(h)(i) that has been collected;

(iii) the distribution of collected amounts;

(iv) the birth date of any child for whom the order requires the provision of support; and

(v) the amount of any lien imposed with respect to the order pursuant to this part; . . . .

 

 

Procedures to Register Administrative Orders

 

The State Case Registry (SCR) is the ORS computer system (ORSIS).  You need only to enter the order on ORSIS to register the order with the SCR and to proceed with administrative enforcement action on the case. Formerly, CSS would file all support orders (except current support-only orders) and sum-certain judgments with the district court in order to create a court judgment.  Changes in state law have eliminated the need to routinely file orders and sum-certain judgments with the court. 

 

Utah Code 81-7-102 states as follows:

“(4) Each payment or installment of child support or alimony under any support order is, on and after the date the payment or installment is due:

(a) a judgment with the same attributes and effect of any judgment of a district court, except as provided in Subsection (5); . . .”
