ISET NUMBER: Title IV-D

TITLE IV-D NOTICE AND WAIVER

I, the undersigned person requesting child support enforcement services, hereby acknowledge that the Prosecuting
Attorney is an agent of the State of Indiana and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, and cannot
and does not serve as a private attorney to custodial parents or other persons. The function of the Office of the
Prosecuting Attorney is to protect and promote the interests of the State at large and the best interests of children in
particular, and these interests may conflict at times with my interests or desires.

I understand that the Prosecuting Attorney does not actually represent custodial parents or custodians, but is merely
providing child support services under Title IV-D of the federal Social Security Act. These services are limited to:
(1) location of absent parents: (2) establishment of paternity and other support orders; (3) enforcement of support
orders; and (4) modification of support orders. Furthermore, I realize that the Prosecuting Attorney is not my
personal attorney, and that I may need to consult with a private attorney or a legal services agency regarding my legal
rights, including but not limited to dissolution, separation, paternity, custody, visitation, property settlement,
judgments, or educational support.

I acknowledge that I am not entering into an attorney-client relationship with an attorney in the Office of the
Prosecuting Attorney, and that any information provided to the prosecutor's Office Child Support Division or its
agents is not information protected by an attorney-client privilege. Any information provided to the office of the
Prosecuting Attorney may be used by that office in the prosecution of the information. Any information provided
may be used and referred to local, state or federal law enforcement and to the Indiana Department of Child Services
for prosecution of any possible violations or crimes. I further acknowledge that involvement in the Title IV-D child
support program does not protect me from prosecution for any criminal offense or civil violation. I further
acknowledge that if a case is filed that the information filed will not necessarily by confidential.

NOTE: THIS FORM IS A WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS AND SHOULD BE SIGNED ONLY AFTER BEING
READ CAREFULLY. YOUR SIGNATURE VERIFIES THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE
TERMS OF THIS DOCUMENT.

I have read the above and fully understand the contents of this waiver and consent to its terms. I affirm under the
penalties of perjury that the foregoing representations are true.

FOR YOUR RECORDS


Enforcement that Occurs on Open Title IV-D Cases When there is an Order

Income Withholding
The term “income withholding” refers to a process in which child support payments are withheld from the paycheck
of the noncustodial parent. Income withholding is required in all child support orders, unless a court finds that
exceptional circumstances dictate otherwise. In addition to court ordered income withholding, the Prosecutor’s Office
has administrative authority to issue income withholding orders when the noncustodial parent falls at least one month
behind in support payments. If an obligor subject to an income withholding order becomes delinquent in his or her
obligation, unless otherwise ordered by a court, the Prosecutor’s Office may increase the weekly amount withheld
towards the arrearage.

Circumstances in which the Prosecutor’s Office would not send an income withholding to the employer:
· Noncustodial parent is paid by cash
· The noncustodial parent receives SSI
· The noncustodial parent is a contractor or sub-contractor
· The noncustodial parent is self-employed
· The noncustodial parent was never ordered by the court to pay by income withholding

Caps on allowable garnishment:


Federal and state laws provide a maximum amount of an individual’s disposable earnings for any workweek that may
be subject to garnishment. The laws take into account whether the individual is supporting another spouse or
dependent child.

Judicial Enforcement
of Court Orders
If administrative enforcement remedies are not sufficient in enforcing the child support obligation, the Marion
County Prosecutor’s Office may file a civil contempt action to enforce the order. A contempt proceeding is a civil
remedy designed to coerce an individual to pay court-ordered support. If the Court finds that a child support obligor
has willfully failed to pay support, the Court may find the parent in contempt and order the parent held in jail until
the contempt is “purged” by the paying of a purge bond in an amount ordered by the Court. Once the bond has been
paid, the entire bond is applied toward the child support. The Court may also order the noncustodial parent’s property
seized and sold to pay all or some of the obligor’s child support arrearage. The purpose of Court sanctions for
contempt is to coerce payment of child support, not to punish.

Tax Refund Interceptions


The Prosecutor’s Office has administrative authority to intercept the tax refunds of noncustodial parents who owe a
child support arrearage, and to apply the intercepted amount towards the arrearage. In order to qualify, a
noncustodial parent must be at least $500.00 behind in court ordered support in non-welfare cases, or $150.00 in
welfare cases. Tax refund interceptions are available for state and federal returns. The Prosecutor’s Office cannot
disclose the status of the interception to custodial parents.

Liens
Under Indiana Law, any child support that is past due and unpaid constitutes a lien against the noncustodial parent’s
property for the amount of the arrearage. This means that the noncustodial parent may not sell the property
(example: a car) without first satisfying the child support arrearage.

This also means that the property may be seized and sold to satisfy the child support arrearage.

ISETS NUMBER:
7996652
Driver’s License Suspension
When an obligor has a child support arrearage of at least $2,000.00 OR the equivalent of
12 weeks’ worth of support, the obligor’s driver’s and recreational license become eligible for suspension. A warning
letter will be sent to the obligor. If no arrangements are made or the obligor does not start paying the full court-
ordered amount, the next step is a letter to advise the BMV or the professional licensing agency to suspend the
license. Once a driver’s or professional license is administratively suspended, reinstatement is possible only by
contacting the Prosecutor’s Office and following through on an established payment plan. Once the payment plan has
been established, it will take approximately 14 days for a reinstatement to be completely processed by the BMV or
professional licensing agency.

Passport Suspension
Once a noncustodial parent’s child support arrearage reaches at least $2,500.00. the parent’s passport becomes
eligible for suspension, revocation or restriction. Passport suspension is a cooperative process between the
Prosecutor’s Office, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Secretary of State.
Reinstatement requires compliance with a payment plan established by the IV-D agency.

Lottery Interception
When a non-custodial parent owing a child support arrearage wins a lottery prize of at least $600.00, the Indiana
Lottery Commission is required to withhold the winnings and apply it to the arrearage. Child support arrearages are
satisfied before other debts, such as judgments and some tax liens. Lottery proceeds are applied first to any existing
state debts, and then to any child support owed.

Credit Bureau Reporting


The Prosecutor’s Office reports non-custodial parents who owe $1,000 or more in arrearages to a credit reporting
service.

Criminal Charges for Nonpayment


In Indiana, a person who knowingly or intentionally fails to provide support to the person's dependent child commits
nonsupport of a child, a Level 6 felony, punishable by incarceration up to 2 and 1/2 years. The offense is a Level 5
felony if the individual has a prior conviction for criminal nonsupport, and is punishable by incarceration up to 6
years. Different penalties may apply for nonsupport prior to July 1, 2014. All charging decisions are at the discretion
of the Prosecutor’s Office.

Federal law also makes nonsupport a crime where the child and noncustodial parent reside in different states and the
arrearage is at least $5,000.00. Federal criminal nonsupport cases are referred by the local prosecutor to the U.S.
Attorney’s Office. From there, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reviews the available information and decides whether to
pursue the matter. If the case warrants prosecution, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will conduct an investigation, locate
the absent parent, and file the action in federal court. The process may take several months or longer to complete.

other than those associated with establishment of paternity (if needed) and the financial support of dependent children.
• I am advised that attorneys and staff at the Child Support Bureau and County Child Support Office providing these child
support services represent the State of Indiana and do not represent the enrollee or any other person or entity.

• I understand that I must cooperate with the County Child Support Office in order for my case to be processed, and non-
cooperation can result in termination of child support services. I further understand that this enrollment to receive child
support services does not guarantee successful action on the case but rather all reasonable attempts will be made to
obtain successful results.
• I understand that I may terminate services by notifying the County Child Support Office handling my case in writing that
services are no longer desired. Services may only be terminated in accordance with 45 C.F.R. 303.11. Termination of
these services does not modify or terminate existing child support orders or obligations.

AFFIDAVIT

I, __________________, hereby state as follows:

1. I hereby request that the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office assist me in filing a paternity action
against ____________ to establish paternity and/or support of the child,_________________.

2. I understand that if paternity has been previously established by execution of a paternity affidavit
or court order, genetic testing is not ordinarily available.

3. I understand that where paternity has not been established by affidavit or court order, DNA testing
may be ordered in this case. This would require me, the child, and any other alleged father(s) to
be tested. I acknowledge that by refusing this test, the court may issue appropriate orders,
including, but not limited to, establishing paternity or dismissing the case.

4. I acknowledge and agree that, unless I am an active TANF recipient at the time a DNA test is
ordered, I may be required to pay for all or part of the genetic testing cost.

5. I acknowledge and agree that the information I provided on the Title IV-D Application, Title IV-
D Waiver, Application Interview Cover Sheet, Custodial Parent (CP) Instructions for Support
Received from Non-Custodial Parent (NCP) Form, In-depth Interview, and Scope of Paternity
Services Provided are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.

6. I acknowledge and agree that if the State of Indiana or its agents pays the initial cost of DNA
testing, I may be ordered to reimburse the State for such costs, especially if the man alleged to be
the child’s biological father is excluded by DNA testing.

7. I understand that if I do not fulfill this agreement, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office may
file a court petition to dismiss the paternity action.

VERIFICATION

I AFFIRM, UNDER THE PENALTIES FOR PERJURY, THAT THE INFORMATION GIVEN IS TRUE
AND ACCURATE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE
