§ 3-122. Child Support Enforcement Department recognized duties.
The Osage Nation Congress hereby recognizes the existing Osage Nation Child Support Services Department (“ONCSS”). The Osage Nation Congress further recognizes that ONCSS may enter into contracts within and without the Osage Nation for purposes of enforcement of child support orders. In all cases involving unmarried children under the age of eighteen (18) years, the Court may order that child support be computed and/or collected by ONCSS pursuant to the Osage Nation Child Support Act.
A. When the Court orders that child support shall be computed and/or collected by ONCSS, the parties shall be ordered to provide proof of income to ONCSS within five days of the court order. If a party does not comply with such order, then all income alleged by the opposing party shall be accepted as true.
B. When so ordered, ONCSS shall act as a referee of the Court, compute the amount(s) to be paid as child support, method(s) of payment, and all other necessary determinations within twenty (20) days of the court order. ONCSS shall provide such determinations to the parties and to the Court for placement in the case file. The determinations of ONCSS shall be accepted as a child support order upon receipt by the Court.
C. If a party takes issue with a determination of ONCSS, the party may apply to the Court for a hearing on the matter. If an application for hearing is granted, the matter shall be heard within thirty (30) days. ONCA 12-53, eff. Apr. 19, 2012.
