Statutory Authority

 

Utah law located at U.C.A. 26B-9-308(1) states:

 “(e) If the office terminates income withholding through an agreement with a party, the office may reinstate income withholding if:

(i) a delinquency occurs;

(ii) the obligor requests reinstatement;

(iii) the obligee requests reinstatement; or

(iv) the office, based on internal procedures and standards, determines reinstatement is appropriate.

(2) The office shall give written notice of termination to each payor when the obligor no longer owes child support to the obligee.

(3) A notice to withhold income, served by the office, is binding on a payor until the office notifies the payor that the obligation to withhold income has been terminated.”



Income Withholding Terminated by ORS/CSS – Procedures

 

Prepare and send a “Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support” to the payor of income. Send the noncustodial parent (NCP) the following documents:

 

1.                   The “Notice to Withhold Cover Letter;”

2.                   The “Written Response Contesting Withholding;” and,

3.                   A copy of the Notice to Withhold.

 

 

Income Withholding Terminated by Court or Administrative Order – Procedures

 

If income withholding was terminated due to a court or administrative order that found good cause to terminate, reinstate income withholding if one of the following reasons exist:

 

1.                   The administrative or judicial body that found “good cause” to terminate determines that circumstances no longer support that finding; or,

 

2.                   The order is modified to reverse the termination for good cause finding.

 

NOTE:  If the child support becomes delinquent in an amount equal to one month’s support or the NCP requests that the income withholding be reinstated, review the case to determine if it is appropriate to set aside the administrative order.  If it is a court order, review the case with the assigned attorney to determine if there is a basis to set aside the order.
