Case Notes

Statutory Scheme.

County was not required to register the income-withholding order, because the county decided to send the withholding order directly to the employer, as allowed under this section, and the applicable statutory scheme required the employer to comply with the withholding order and by doing so, it could not be held civilly liable. Schultz v. Butterball, 2012 Ark. 163, 402 S.W.3d 61 (2012).
