Agency action required before Administrative Court can hear child support enforcement case

The Court dismissed the appeal of an individual seeking to challenge the amount of his purported child support arrears, as calculated by the state’s Division of Child Support Services (DCSS).  The Court explained that it had jurisdiction to hold hearings challenging certain enforcement actions taken by DCSS, such as license suspensions or tax refund intercepts.  But the Court has no authority to solely address a disagreement about a child support obligor’s arrears balance.
