Section 17525 Of Article 2. Collections And Enforcement From California Family Law Code >> Division 17. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.
17525
. (a) Whenever a state or local governmental agency issues a
notice of support delinquency, the notice shall state the date upon
which the amount of the delinquency was calculated, and shall notify
the obligor that the amount calculated may, or may not, include
accrued interest. This requirement shall not be imposed until the
local child support agency has instituted the California Child
Support Automation System defined in Section 10081 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code. The notice shall further notify the obligor of
his or her right to an administrative determination of arrears by
requesting that the local child support agency review the arrears,
but that payments on arrears continue to be due and payable unless
and until the local child support agency notifies the obligor
otherwise. A state agency shall not be required to suspend
enforcement of any arrearages as a result of the obligor's request
for an administrative determination of arrears, unless the agency
receives notification of a suspension pursuant to subdivision (b) of
Section 17526.
(b) For purposes of this section, "notice of support delinquency"
means a notice issued to a support obligor that includes a specific
statement of the amount of delinquent support due and payable.
(c) This section shall not require a state or local entity to
calculate the amount of a support delinquency, except as otherwise
required by law.
