This notice emphasizes the legal obligation to comply with the support order and provides a deadline for response or voluntary initiation of payment. 6. Legal Action and Enforcement Proceedings: In cases where the non-custodial parent fails to respond or take the necessary action, the agency initiates legal proceedings. These proceedings can include filing a motion with the court for enforcement of the support order, pursuing wage garnishment, seizing assets, or placing liens on property. 7.
