Child Support Statement
A Child Support Statement is mandatory in New York State (General
Obligations Law) regardless of whether or not you have children or
any support obligation. Any person who is four months or more in
arrears in child support may be subject to having his or her
business, professional and driver’s licenses suspended. The
intentional submission of a false written statement for the purpose of
frustrating or defeating the lawful enforcement of support obligations
is punishable under §175.35 of the Penal Law. It is a class E felony to
offer a false instrument for filing with a state or local government
with the intent to defraud.
