20. In the last Lesson, we mentioned termination of a Wage Assignment Order. Is a Wage Assignment Order required for child support in Kentucky?
Generally speaking, yes. FCRPP 9(2) clearly requires utilization of a form, AOC-152, upon entry of a court order directing the payment of child support (See Exhibit 20.) There is a link to this form through the Kentucky Court of Justice website. It is pretty straight-forward, and I should note that the rule provides that the social security numbers of the parties and the child or children are to be included on the form without redaction, notwithstanding the restriction against publication of personal identifiers.
Along with AOC-152, another Order (Exhibit 20A), form OMB 0970-0154 (known as the Income Withholding Order or IWO), is to be prepared and presented to the judge. This form is ultimately sent, along with AOC-152, to the employer to require the withholding of support from the employee’s wages. OMB 0970-0154 is a bit more complicated than AOC-152, but helpful instructions for completing it can be found online. A copy of the forms should also be sent to the office of Kentucky Child Support Enforcement at the appropriate local address.
Termination of an Income Withholding Order is accomplished by a similar order by checking the appropriate termination information on a new form OMB 0970-0154.
Technicalities for sure, but now you know a little bit about what is involved with the AOC-152 and the OMB 0970-0154.
