Does VA law require DMV to send notice if your driver's license is suspended for failure to pay child support?

Question

A few other questions~~

If you're somewhat behind on child support, can you get your license reinstated (or at least get an occupational drivers license) if you're keeping up on your current payments and making payments towards your arrears?

The reason I ask is because, not long ago, my father became unemployed due to a severe back injury. (He has a minor child with a woman other than my mother.) His disability payments haven't been enough to keep up on his child support obligation. As a result, he is now behind by a little more than $5000. He was recently informed by his insurance company that his driver's license has been suspended due to failure to pay support. However, he never received notice. And he is now worried that he will be unable to get to and from work when he is finally able to resume his regular activities and begin paying the entirety of his monthly support obligation.

Any information and advice will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer 1

They have to give you notice in VA before they suspend your driver's license. And you might be able to get your license reinstated or get an occupational [restricted] driver's license if you petition the courts. Then it would be up to His [or Her] Honor.

Answer 2

Most States do not notify you when the license is suspended for child support. There is a chance that it can be reinstated by making some sort of payment up front towards arrearages. The drivers license is the first thing that child support goes after. Next is the income tax return.

commonly they does not droop, yet they does not enable a renewal in maximum states and provinces. you are going to be prevented from registering or renewing registration on a vehicle. the 1st time I observed it develop into some years back, a fellow that wanted to sign up his mo-ped in Manitoba. It seems he had help funds he had skipped out on in Ontario, so he could not do any registrations till he settled the subject. have self assurance it or not, he develop into mad with the aid of fact he had moved so he does not ought to pay!
