Title 26 - Human Services Code
Article 13.5 - Administrative Procedure for Child Support Establishment and Enforcement
§ 26-13.5-107. Orders - duration - effect of court determinations

(1) A copy of any order of financial responsibility or of any order of default or of any temporary order of financial responsibility issued by the delegate child support enforcement unit shall be sent by such unit by first-class mail to the obligor or his attorney of record and to the custodian of the child.

(2) Any order of financial responsibility, any order of default, and any temporary order of financial responsibility shall continue notwithstanding the fact that the child is no longer receiving benefits under the programs listed in section 26-13-102.5 (2) (a), unless the child is emancipated or is otherwise no longer entitled to support. Any order of financial responsibility, any order of default, and any temporary order of financial responsibility shall continue until modified by administrative order or court order or by emancipation of the child. In the event that the order of financial responsibility, order of default, or temporary order of financial responsibility is entered in a case at a time when there is a court action on the same case, the court may credit a portion of a monthly amount paid under the administrative process order towards future payments due in the court case only if the order in the court case is established at a lower amount than the administrative process order and only to the extent of the difference between the amount of the court order and the amount of the administrative process order.

(3) Nothing contained in this article shall deprive a court of competent jurisdiction from determining the duty of support of an obligor against whom an administrative order is issued pursuant to this article. Such a determination by the court shall supersede the administrative order as to support payments due subsequent to the entry of the order by the court but shall not affect any arrearage which may have accrued under the administrative order.
