Problem-solving court program - Participation by obligors
Official statutory text
of state child support plan.
A. In cases in which child support services under the state
child support plan as provided in Section 237 of Title 56 of the
Oklahoma Statutes are being provided for the benefit of the child,
the administrative or district court may order the obligor to
participate in the problem-solving court program of the Department
of Human Services. The problem-solving court program is an
immediate and highly structured judicial intervention process for
the obligor and requires completion of a participation agreement by
the obligor and monitoring by the court. A problem-solving court
program differs in practice and design from the traditional
adversarial prosecution and trial systems. The problem-solving
court program uses a team approach administered by the judge in
cooperation with a child support state’s attorney and a child
support court liaison who focuses on removing the obstacles causing
the nonpayment of the obligor. The obligors in this program shall
be required to sign an agreement to participate in this program.
The court liaisons assess the needs of the obligor, develop a
community referral network, make referrals, monitor the compliance
of the obligor in the program, and provide status reports to the
court.
B. Participation in the problem-solving court program shall not
act as a stay of federally mandated automated enforcement remedies.
The child support obligation of the obligor shall not be suspended
or abated during participation in the program.
