252B.11 Recovery of costs of collection services.

Child support services may initiate necessary civil proceedings to recover child support services’ costs of support collection services provided to an individual, whether or not the individual is a public assistance recipient, from an individual who owes and is able to pay a support obligation but willfully fails to pay the obligation. Child support services may seek a lump sum recovery of child support services’ costs or may seek to recover child support services’ costs through periodic payments which are in addition to periodic support payments. If child support services’ costs are recovered from an individual owing a support obligation, the costs shall not be deducted from the amount of support money received from the individual. The costs collected pursuant to this section shall be retained by the department for use by child support services. The director or a designee shall keep an accurate record of funds so retained.
