The court may also take driver's, professional, hunting and fishing, or other licenses for failure to pay support. Changing child support orders: OCSS reviews support orders to make sure they follow the Guidelines. If not, we ask the court to change the support amount. · There is a yearly $25.00 fee collected on all cases that qualify.
