N.Y. Family Court Act § 443: Order of support by parent

§ 443. Order of support by parent. If the court finds after a hearing

that a parent is chargeable under section four hundred thirteen of this

act with the support of his or her child and is possessed of sufficient

means or able to earn such means, the court shall make an order

requiring the parent to pay weekly or at other fixed periods a fair and

reasonable sum for or towards the support of such child. Where permitted

under federal law and where the record of the proceedings contains such

information, the court shall also require the social security number of

such parent to be affixed to such order; provided, however, that no such

order shall be invalid because of the omission of such number. Where the

record of the proceedings contains such information, such order shall

also include on its face the name and address of the employer, if any,

of the person chargeable with support provided, however, that failure to

comply with this requirement shall not invalidate such order. Where the

order of child support or combined child and spouse support is made on

behalf of persons in receipt of public assistance or in receipt of

services pursuant to section one hundred eleven-g of the social services

law, the court shall require each party to provide, and update upon any

change, the following information to the court by reporting such change

to the support collection unit designated by the appropriate social

services district: social security number, residential and mailing

addresses, telephone number, driver's license number; and name, address

and telephone number of the parties' employers. Due process

requirements for notice and service of process for subsequent hearings

are met, with respect to such party, upon sending written notice by

first class mail to the most recent residential address on record with

the support collection unit; or by sending by first class mail written

notice to the most recent employer address on record with the support

collection unit, if a true copy thereof also is sent by first class mail

to the most recent residential address on record with the support

collection unit. Any such order issued on or after the first day of

October, nineteen hundred ninety-nine shall also include, where

available, the social security number of each child on whose behalf

support has been ordered. Failure to report such changes shall subject

the parent to the provisions of section four hundred fifty-four of this

act.
