MS HB1076

Overdue child support payments remain payable to the custodial parent or guardian after a child's emancipation unless the court affirmatively determines otherwise.

Child support arrearage withholding from lump-sum employer payments must comply with the Consumer Credit Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. Chapter 41, which limits total withholding.

Employers must notify the Department of Human Services at least 45 days before making lump-sum payments over $500 to an obligor with child support arrearages.

The Department of Human Services must provide employers with a Notice of Lien specifying the amount to withhold from lump-sum payments for child support arrearages.

The bill takes effect July 1, 2020.
