chid support enforcement DOR

[klrsmom]

I was divorced in 2008. At the time of final paperwork he was ordered to pay an additional 100 per month toward child support arrears that had accumulated during the proceedings. He did not pay any child support for almost 3 years. He now has a job making alot more than previously. He now has over $30,000 in arrears. I was told by the DOR that they can not collect any of the arrearage except for the orginal 100 per month and the current chid support. At this current rate my child will be 41 years old before the arrearage is paid.
Does this seem like misinformation to you?
I work in an HR department and most of the other employees do not have this issue they take out the arrears as a percentage of the paycheck. But DOR is stating only the orginal payment is taken out and this is line with the current regulations. I am confused regarding putting your case with the DOR for enforcement. Any advice

Some courts will set payment of the arrears at 10% or 20% of the underlying support payment. Not sure how this stacks up with the $100.

One limit is a federal law limiting the income deduction order to 55 or 60% of his take home (depending on several conditions). We have an article on this on our main website.
