For parents ordered to pay support who become delinquent in their child support payments, there are automated enforcement actions and legal enforcement actions that may occur. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed upon by the parents, an Income Withholding Order (IWO) and National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) are required to be issued to the other parent’s employer for the collection of child support and enforcement of health insurance.

Automatic enforcement actions include:

Intercepts
Liens
License Suspension (SLMS)
Credit Reporting
Financial levies
