Human Services - Duties - Relationship.

A. Attorneys employed by or contracting with the Department of

Human Services for the establishment of paternity and the

establishment, enforcement, and collection of child support

obligations under Part D of Title IV of the Federal Social Security

Act, 42 U.S.C., Section 651 et seq., or attorneys acting for the

Department through an agreement as set forth in Section 237.1 of

this title may represent the state or other states in administrative

or civil actions.

of the Federal Social Security Act does not create an attorney-

client relationship with any other party.

C. Neither the Department of Human Services nor any attorney

providing services under Title IV-D of the Federal Social Security

Act shall be authorized to accept service, as authorized in Section

2005 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes, for any party other than

the Department of Human Services.
