Topic: Income Withholding 101

Hennepin County Child Support will be talking about the things we all want to know about and more.

a. What does income withholding do for the recipient of child support/spousal maintenance?

b. Explain the difference between income withholding services only vs. full support services.

c. What resources are available to the obligee as far as enforcement, tracking arrears, seeking reimbursement of uninsured/unreimbursed medical/dental expenses for kids, etc.?

d. How can we help our clients get started with income withholding?

e. Is there specific language that the child support office/income withholding overlords prefer in Orders related to income withholding?

f. Are there certain things the child support office can’t do to withhold income? (i.e. What if the obligor is self-employed, or only receives SSDI for income – will initiating income withholding be the best solution?)

g. And more.
