Fam. Code Section 158.506
Contest by Obligor to Administrative Writ of Withholding
(a)
Except as provided by Section 158.502 (When Administrative Writ of Withholding May Be Issued)(c), an obligor receiving the notice under Section 158.505 (Notice to Obligor) may request a review by the Title IV-D agency to resolve any issue in dispute regarding the identity of the obligor or the existence or amount of arrearages. The Title IV-D agency shall provide an opportunity for a review, by telephonic conference or in person, as may be appropriate under the circumstances.(b)
After a review under this section, the Title IV-D agency may issue a new administrative writ of withholding to the employer, including a writ modifying the amount to be withheld or terminating withholding.(c)
If a review under this section fails to resolve any issue in dispute, the obligor may file a motion with the court to withdraw the administrative writ of withholding and request a hearing with the court not later than the 30th day after receiving notice of the agency’s determination. Income withholding may not be interrupted pending a hearing by the court.(d)
If an administrative writ of withholding issued under this subchapter is based on an order of a tribunal of another state that has not been registered under Chapter 159 (Uniform Interstate Family Support Act), the obligor may file a motion with an appropriate court in accordance with Subsection (c).
