    Default Child Support Order Terminated but Enforcement Still Suspends My License

    My question involves child support in the State of: New York

    I am currently in the arrears for past support and I havebeen paying every week as per an agreement I signed with support enforcement in order to get my drivers license back. the agreement was that I pay $125.00 for weekly obligations and an additional $125.00 to be applied towards my arrears. in January I went to court, and my child support order was terminated since my son turned 21 and has moved out on his own and is working full time and living his own life now. 2 weeks after the order was terminated, I received a letter from DMV stating that my License was being suspended due to non payment of support. when i went to support enforcement, they told me that because i wasnt paying the weekly C/S payment ( because it was terminated by the court) i was in default of the original agreement, and all I needed to do was sign a new agreement stating that I agree to continue paying the $125.00 x 2 that i had originally agreed to pay. I refused to sign and I went and got a Restricted License that only allows me to drive to and from work. now I have decided to relocate to Florida but I dont want a restricted use license in Florida, so i need advice for the following questions:

    1) now that the child support order is terminated, can N.Y.S suspend a Florida Drivers License should they decide I'm not paying enough again?

    2) should I sign this agreement, or should I just continue to pay the arrears as I am now and just apply for a Florida drivers license.

    3) are the laws the same in Florida regarding license suspension (based on arrears not obligation)

    4) would NYS have to file some type of motion to suspend my Florida License?

    one more thing, they are still taking the 250 from my paycheck every week even though the first 125 was to go to weekly child support obligation. I remarried and amnow the father of a newborn and this has become a financial hardship now that I have to support a baby now. I understand i have to pay my arrears, and I do I just need to know what i can do at this point.

    1. No. But Florida can suspend your FL license (or simply refuse to issue a license) based upon your NY arrears.

    2. That's entirely up to you.

    3. You can read more here: http://law.onecle.com/florida/motor-...s/322.058.html

    4. See the answer to #1.


    Think of it this way: Every cent you pay NOW is going to pay off the arrears that much more quickly. Your obligation will be over and done with so much sooner.

    The courts don't really care that you have a newborn; they'll see it quite simply as a case of "you shouldn't have had another child when you can't afford to support those already in existence".

    (Please understand I'm not saying that to be mean - just being realistic)
