Making timely child support
payments helps your child(ren).
Lawmakers see child support as a very important issue. Based on the belief that children are our most valuable resource and our best hope for the future, both state and national lawmakers pass legislation each year emphasizing the importance of paying child support.
Assembly Bill 9232 went into effect on January 1, 1996, this law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to suspend the license privilege of any individual not paying child support. This includes all drivers’ license classifications (non-commercial and commercial).
If your license is suspended, you may have a temporary license for 150 days to give you and our office time to address your past due child support. This time cannot be extended.
If you drive while your license is suspended, you can be cited and fined. If you pay now but do not continue to pay your child support obligation, DMV will be notified and your license will be suspended. You will then receive a “Notice of Intent to Suspend” and the suspension will go into effect in 30 days.
Make payment arrangements by discussing your case with our child support professionals by calling (530)889-5700 or toll free (866)855-2145. Or submit a request now.
Our department wants to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.
