Hold for Child Support?

Can a bank in different state from where you live put a hold on a check you are trying to cash, because you owe child support and the bank can't release it until the state says so?


Rules for child support enforcement can differ from state to state. These rules also differ greatly from that of collection of any other debt because the legislation allowing it is meant to save the taxpayers from having to provide support. Many states work within a network with other states, so this is likely a real possibility. You should contact an attorney if this has happened to you. The result may be figuring out how back payments can be made. It won't help a person get out of the debt.
