Driver's License Suspension with Child Support Arrears

Reinstating your Suspended Driver’s License and Business Licenses

Many fathers with child support obligations fall behind on payments. No matter the reason for falling behind, if child support is late, the consequences can be extremely serious. Child support arrears can lead to:

• A warrant for your arrest
• Civil fines
• Driver's license suspension
• Garnished wages
• Professional business license suspension

Losing a driver's license can be inconvenient but it can be more.
