An Act To Amend Title 13 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Child Support.
SB-273


About SB-273

The current definition of income used in the calculation of child support payments is limited to periodic payments and does not include occasional lump sum payments received by support obligors. These amendments broaden the definition of “income” to include a lump sum payment and allows the Division of Child Support Enforcement to issue an income withholding order against the lump sum payment to pay arrears or retroactive support. As with all income withholding orders, the Consumer Credit Protection limits apply to a lump sum income withholding order.
