The Oklahoma legislature and Congress has recently enacted laws to allow child support enforcement offices to collect child support owed from non-custodial parents who receive payments from Social Security, Worker's Compensation Court and regular employment paychecks. Employers can be fined $200 a day for not mailing child support payments, which have been withheld from an employee's paycheck.
