SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The IWO is the required, standard form used to order,
and notify, employers and income providers to withhold child support
payments from an obligor's income. It is also used to notify employers
and other income providers where to remit the payments, as well as
other information needed to correctly withhold payments so that
children and families receive the support to which they are entitled.
The IWO form instructions underwent minor edits to clarify the
language and improve the respondent's ability to properly complete the
IWO Form. The burden estimates changed to reflect current estimates for
the annual number of respondents and responses.
Respondents: Courts, private attorneys, custodial parties or their
representatives, employers, and other entities that provide income to
noncustodial parents.
