• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 20: Domestic Relations
• Ch. 6: CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT
• Art. 2: INCOME WITHHOLDING

Text

(a) At any time after an income withholding order has been
served upon a payor pursuant to W.S. 20-6-211, the obligor, the
obligee or the department may petition the court to:
(i) Modify, suspend or terminate the income
withholding order due to modification, suspension or termination
of the support order;
(ii) Modify the amount of income to be withheld to
reflect payment in full of the arrearage by income withholding
or otherwise;
(iii) Reduce the amount of income being withheld by a
payor to conform to the maximum limitations under W.S.
20-6-210(b)(iii) and to order the repayment by the obligee to
the obligor of any amounts withheld in violation of W.S.
20-6-210(b)(iii);
(iv) Suspend the income withholding order because of
inability to deliver the withheld income to the obligee due to
the obligee's failure to provide the clerk with a mailing
address or other means of delivery for a period of ninety (90)
days;
(v) Repealed by Laws 1993, ch. 199, § 2.
(vi) Suspend the income withholding order when the
suspension is consented to by:
(A) The obligor or the department if the support
rights of the obligee have been assigned to the department; or
(B) The obligor and the person to whom the duty
of support is owed. When the parties under this subparagraph
agree to an alternative arrangement, the arrangement shall be in
writing, signed by the parties and reviewed and entered in the
record by the court.
(b) An obligor may petition the court at any time to
suspend or terminate an income withholding order upon grounds
that:
(i) The obligor did not receive a copy of a required
delinquency notice as provided by W.S. 20-6-209(a); and
(ii) Grounds exist as specified by W.S. 20-6-209(b)
to contest the withholding.
(c) An obligor may petition the court at any time to
suspend the withholding of income when there is no longer a
current order for support and all arrearages have been paid.
(d) An income withholding order suspended under this
section shall again become effective upon the subsequent
occurrence of one (1) of the events specified by W.S.
20-6-205(a)(ii) or (iii). The income withholding order may
thereafter be served upon a payor of the obligor subject to the
notice and hearing requirements of this act.
(e) The clerk shall mail to any affected payor a certified
copy of any order entered under this section which affects the
duties of the payor.
