Littleton, CO asked in Child Support for Colorado

Q: Does county support enforcement have the right to hold payments for 6 months?

I received my ex-husband's tax return because he is behind on payments. FSR sent the money to the county who now is saying they are holding the money for 6 months because the amount "might" change. Is this common practice?

A: I believe there is a period they can hold funds for to make sure there are no irregularities or problems, but am not aware of them holding money for 6 months to see if things "might" change.
