(a) A local child support agency shall comply with all regulations in 45 CFR 303.7.(b) In the case of a direct filing of a proceeding by a nonresident petitioner, California would function as the responding jurisdiction without an initiating tribunal.(c) California is not a cost recovery state. When California is acting as the responding jurisdiction, a local child support agency must track and collect processing fees included in a court order. The lump sum of the amount ordered is collected and forwarded to the initiating jurisdiction. An obligor shall be given full credit for all payments made toward the obligation amount in the court order by both California and the initiating jurisdiction even if the initiating jurisdiction deducts a processing fee from the amount collected.Cal.
