Child Support Services Division

The Office of the Attorney General's Child Support Services Division (CSSD) can enforce child support orders by attaching and seizing assets owned by those owing child support and held in financial institutions.  Seizures can take place without a court order.  CSSD first issues a Writ of Attachment and funds are frozen.  If a review by CSSD does not result in a withdrawal of the Writ of Attachment, CSSD issues an Order of Condemnation to the financial institution.  If you have received an Order of Condemnation, you have 30 days after its date to request a hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings.

Depending on the type of case, federal law (US Code) and federal regulations (CFR) may also be relevant. Cases decided on the issues in other courts, especially the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, are relevant.
