Current through 2024-51, December 18, 2024
Section 144-351-21-4 - HEARING

An obligor may request an administrative hearing upon service of the notice described in section 2 or upon receiving a notice under section 13. The request for hearing must be made in writing and must be received by the Division within 20 days of service. A request for hearing is deemed timely if the 20th day after service is a weekend, holiday or other non-business day for the Department and the request is received by the Division on the next business day. The Department shall conduct hearings under this subsection in accordance with the requirements of Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 4 of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated. The issues that may be determined at hearing are limited to whether the obligor is required to pay child support under the support order for which the Division issued a notice of noncompliance and, if so, whether the obligor is in compliance with that support order, although the obligor may raise additional issues, including the reasonableness of a payment agreement in light of the obligor's current circumstances, to be preserved for appeal.
