Income withholding is a process that deducts child support payments automatically from the noncustodial parent's paycheck, like taxes. When a child support order is established, the child support agency sends an income withholding notice to the noncustodial parent's employer.
Withholding order is effective "as soon as possible" but no later than 10 days after it is received. Employer delivers papers to the employee -- a copy of the IWO, the attached statement of rights, and blank Request for Hearing within 7 days of receiving the IWO.
