The Maintenance Enforcement Program (MEP) collects court-ordered child support, spousal and partner support, and enforces as needed.
"Penalty and service fee increases
An increase to all penalties and service fees charged by the MEP has been approved effective August 1, 2017... Section 7 expenses
MEP has changed how it enforces some types of section 7 expenses. The change doesn’t affect you if your court order or agreement sets an amount for expenses, or specifies what expenses are payable. MEP will no longer enforce percentage or proportionate share of expenses unless the type of expense is clearly stated in the court order or agreement, or the parties agree on the expenses to be shared."
The power maintenance has for seizure of property for payment is nothing less than horrifying
