True, this is normally an enforcement tool used in states with this law in effect. Normally applies to someone who is not paying child support, a certain amount in arrears. Normally requires a court hearing and the Judge actually takes the driver's license. They can also take tax returns, state and federal, put holds on checking/banking accounts, prevent vehicle registration, do wage garnishments, withhold from insurance settlements, take business and professional licenses, block your passport, have you jailed, place liens on property, and some other neat things. Don't be a deadbeat, call them up and work out something to prevent any of these things happening to you. Normally if you show a willingness to correct the problems, they can and will work with you. Don't tell them you will do something you are not willing to follow up with and don't dodge this debt.

Child support can suspend your driver's license and any professional license that you may hold. If your job requires you to hold a professional license (ie. commercial driver, doctor, etc.) this would prevent you from working. If you just pay your child support you do not have to worry about it. if it is suspended the only way to get it back is to pay one full month of support plus show that you have a job in which child support can be withheld. You will also have to pay a reinstatement fee to the BMV to get you driving priveleges back. You must be at least a full month behind on support before they can pull it. To clarify what another answered- you DO NOT have to be at least $5000 behind, my ex is only $3900 behind and his has been suspended 3 times and he was found in contempt through the court 2 months ago.

Yes it is true that the child support agency can have your license suspended, but that doesn't mean you can't work. You can get an ID card and have someone take you to work or take a cab or bus.

Yes it is true. They can suspend your drivers license until you start paying the child support or file an agreement to pay the arrears. If your a truck driver your screwed. Happened to my husband, after he lost his license he finally found a trucking company that was willing to sign an agreement that they would take the arrears and support directly from his pay to send to the family support agency. He was 2 years trying to find a company willing to take on that responisbility.

In Canada they will take your driver's license and you will not get it back until you make a payment.My ex had his license suspended with owing $2000.
Losing your license does not go over good in court and is not a good enough excuse for not working.

in the state of Ohio , they will revoke your drivers license if you are behind on child support payments, but if you have or job they will give you a special driving package, i.e: only able to drive during working hrs. just to and from work, daycare, etc. hope this helps!

Yes it is true the state can revoke your driving privilege for non payment of child support. Although they will give you every opportunity to pay up first.

I don't know about other states, but in California your driver's license does get taken away for lack of child support payments

In some states, the penalty for not paying is to revoke your license, but not so you can't work, because having your license is a priveledge.
