Section 340:25-5-179.1 - Establishment of support for a prior period

CSS seeks a zero dollar support amount for prior periods the noncustodial parent (NCP) resided with the custodial person and provided support for the child. When establishing support for a prior period CSS goes back to the lesser of:

(1) two years prior to the filing of the petition; or

(2) the birth month of the child.

(b) When a child support order is entered against a minor NCP, CSS establishes support for a prior period under the criteria for establishing current child support, per Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 340:25-5-178.

(c) CSS does not establish an order for support for a prior period on an incarcerated NCP.

(d) When CSS establishes an order for support for a prior period for a child of an NCP or a custodial person who is a servicemember, CSS applies the provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, codified in Sections 3901 through 4043 of Title 50 of the United States Code.

(e) When the NCP is a current Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient and CSS:

(1) has information that the NCP had no obligation based on the child support guidelines for the prior period, CSS requests the court set the judgment at $0; or

(2) determines a debt may be owed for a prior period, CSS requests the court reserve the issue of support for a prior period until the NCP is no longer receiving TANF or SSI.

(f) CSS sets a monthly payment schedule per OAC 340:25-5-140.
