The most common manner to collect child support here in the US is by wage garnishing. Despite this, there are always the those who find a way to fall behind on support payments…
Apparently there’s another way to attempt to get support payments in Tennessee through the Department of Human Services called “license revocation”. Basically, if a party ordered to make support payments that are 90-days overdue and owe more than $500, their state issued licenses can be revoked.
Think about how pissed some would be to have their hunting or fishin’ licenses yanked… It can go one more step in revoking professional drivers license (wouldn’t doing this possibly hinder the generation of funds to make support payments?)… The same agency can even get into lottery winnings…
I’m all for it, I’m just applauding the license revocation as a new angle against what are usually deadbeat parents.
