North Dakota Child Support Law

These funds can then be sent directly to the North Dakota State Disbursement Unit. In order to offset any of the costs incurred through this method, employers may deduct an additional $3 per month from the non-custodial parent’s paycheck.

If the income withholding method is not available (because the non-custodial parent is unemployed) or if the method is insufficient, the automatic withdrawal method can be used to collect funds from the non-custodial parent’s bank account.

In addition, the state can utilize a variety of enforcement methods to collect child support payments that are late or in arrears. These methods include wage garnishment, credit bureau reporting, license suspension (including driver’s, recreational, and occupational licenses), passport denial, liens on personal property, tax refund interception, and criminal prosecution. As of January 1, 2004, child support payments that are late will also accrue interest charges.

Reviewing North Dakota Child Support Law
If it has been at least three years since the child support order was reviewed or established, you can request a review from your Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit. A child support order review may be requested by either parent by writing to the Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit.
