15 AAC 125.100 - Notice and finding of financial responsibility; establishment of support obligation

(a) Before initiating an administrative action to establish a support order, the agency will send by first-class mail or by electronic means to the noncustodial parent and to the custodial parent or, if appropriate, to a child support enforcement agency of another state, a request for financial and medical information as provided in 15 AAC 125.040.

(b) Upon receipt of the information required by 15 AAC 125.040 or upon the expiration of the period in which the parents are required to provide the information, the agency may initiate an action to establish a support order by serving a notice and finding of financial responsibility on the noncustodial parent as required by AS 25.27.160. The agency will also send a copy of the notice and finding of financial responsibility to the custodial parent or legal custodian of the children for whom support is sought and, if appropriate, to a child support enforcement agency of another state.

(c) The agency's notice and finding of financial responsibility establishes an ongoing support obligation owed by the noncustodial parent. The ongoing support obligation is effective as of the first day of the month following service on the noncustodial parent of the notice and finding of financial responsibility, a notice of paternity and financial responsibility, or a paternity complaint, whichever is the earliest.
