Abstract

This portion of the Act accomplishes a housekeeping task of cleaning up a portion of chapter 6 of title 19, relating to the inclusion of non-Title IV obligors in income deduction orders. Further, the Act eliminates the fifteen¬day waiting period previously allotted a child support obligor after an order was entered as an opportunity to contest an income deduction which was issued upon a showing of a one¬month delinquency. Under the Act, the obligor may request a hearing within fifteen days after receiving notice of delinquency. However, if the obligor does not exercise this right, the income deduction order takes effect without a hearing and without the additional fifteen days which were previously provided to contest the order.
