To find out more about what a particular state is doing regarding child support enforcement or licensing restrictions, visit the Child Support and Family Law Legislation Database. Some states allow for temporary occupational or professional licenses while the administrative or judicial review is being conducted. For example, 15 states allow for temporary driver’s licenses if suspension would prevent the obligor from traveling to and from work, parenting time or religious services. In recent years, some legislatures have begun easing up on license restrictions that would impair the obligor’s ability to earn income or otherwise meet their parental obligations. Related provisions include procedures to halt revocation proceedings, reinstate licenses and issue temporary or restricted licenses. Each state imposes its own criteria for the amount of arrears the obligor (the person who owes child support) must owe for a license to be suspended or revoked and the amount of time the obligor must be delinquent before suspension or revocation occurs. The licenses affected generally are driver's, occupational, professional (e.g., law), business and recreational (e.g., hunting and fishing).
