Section 388-14A-7110 - The division of child support may enforce interest on amounts owed under support orders entered or established in a jurisdiction other than Washington state
(1) The division of child support (DCS) may accept an intergovernmental request to enforce interest when:
(a) The request is from:
(i) Another state's IV-D agency;
(ii) An Indian tribe;
(iii) A foreign country which has entered into a reciprocal agreement with the United States of America or with the state of Washington;
(iv) A foreign country which has ratified the Hague Convention on Child Support; or
(v) A custodial parent (CP) or noncustodial parent (NCP) who resides outside of Washington state who has filed a petition under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA), chapter 26.21A RCW.
(b) The party requesting that DCS enforce interest provides a calculation of the interest claimed which has been certified by a IV-D agency or a certified public accountant (CPA); and
(c) The support order was entered or established in a jurisdiction other than Washington state.
(2) When a foreign support order has been submitted for enforcement under UIFSA, DCS may, at its option, either:
(a) Use the notice of support debt and demand for payment to enforce interest on an out-of-state support order. See WAC 388-14A-3304 for the rules regarding the notice of support debt and demand for payment; or
(b) Use a notice of support debt and registration to enforce interest on the foreign order. See WAC 388-14A-7100 and 388-14A-7005 for the rules regarding registration of a foreign order.
(3) When an out of state order has been submitted for registration for enforcement and modification under UIFSA, DCS uses a notice of support debt and registration to enforce interest on the out of state order. See WAC 388-14A-7100 and 388-14A-7005 for the rules regarding registration of a foreign support order.
(4) Any hearing held on a notice of support debt and registration which includes a claim for interest is conducted in accordance with WAC 388-14A-7125, 388-14A-7115, and 388-14A-7005.
(a) WAC 388-14A-7135 describes the procedures for confirmation of the registered order.
