What can I do if I disagree with a notice of support debt and demand for payment?
Once the division of child support has served a notice of support debt and demand for payment, either party may disagree with the notice.
(1) If either party objects to the enforcement of a non-Washington support order, that party may request that DCS register that order under chapter
26.21A RCW. DCS then serves a notice of support debt and registration as provided in WAC
388-14A-7100.
(2) If the noncustodial parent (NCP) objects to the amount of current support or the amount of support debt stated in the notice, the NCP may request a conference board under WAC
388-14A-6400.
(a) The custodial parent (CP) may participate in the conference board under this section.
(b) The CP may choose to convert the proceeding to an administrative hearing. The NCP may participate in a hearing held under this section.
(3) If the custodial parent objects to the amount of current support or the amount of support debt stated in the notice, the CP may request an administrative hearing. The NCP may participate in a hearing held under this section.
(4) See WAC
388-14A-3304 for a more full description of the hearing process on the notice of support debt and demand for payment.
