Currently in the State of Delaware there are high arrearages in child support owed and past due. In many circumstances persons’ who are owing support have received monetary awards in the form of a court settlement, judgment or under a workers compensation claim. This Bill requires the Division of Child Support Enforcement to maintain an active list of persons who are in arrears of their child support duties. Any attorney or insurer will now be required to consult this list before releasing any funds to clients or prevailing parties to verify that no support is owed. If support is owed, the total amount of support in arrears must first be paid before any funds (except the first $1,000) may be released to the prevailing party.

An Act To Amend Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Child Support.
