filing this "Agreement ".
There is no money owed for back child support or spousal maintenance arrears, AND

DO NOT USE THESE FORMS IF...
The other party will not sign the "Agreement to Stop Income Withholding Order. "
Money is still owed for current or past due child support or spousal maintenance (alimony) according
to the underlying Order for support or maintenance.
There has never been an "Income Withholding Order " in this case. (Note: If money is still owed but the amount should be changed,
refer to the Self-Service Center packets to modify the Income Withholding Order and/or the Support Order to determine whether either
applies to your situation.
NOTE: If your "Income Withholding Order " was issued after January 1, 2005, there may be an automatic stop date on the
Order. If there is and that date is correct, you do not need to file anything to stop the Order, though you may want to make sure the
payroll department of whomever has been making payments is aware of the termination date.
