Monitoring & enforcing child support orders

What might happen when a parent is placed on the Lien Docket

The child support agency may also take these enforcement actions against those listed on the Lien Docket:

• Intercept lump-sum pension payments from public retirement funds, such as the retirement funds for Wisconsin state employees and City of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County employees. (Periodic payments from public retirement funds are not intercepted.)
  
  
• Intercept judgments or settlements, such as a personal injury settlement
  
  
• Request the suspension or denial of professional, occupational, driver’s, and recreational (hunting and fishing) licenses when a child support lien equals or exceeds three months’ worth of support
  
  
• Seize bank accounts including checking, savings, IRAs, and mutual funds when a child support lien equals or exceeds $1,000 or three months’ worth of support, whichever is greater
  
  
• Seize real property (land) and titled personal property (cars) when a Child Support Lien equals or exceeds six months’ worth of support
