WAC 388-14A-3850. When may someone ask for a temporary support order?

(1) There are two times when a temporary support order is appropriate in the course of an administrative hearing: (a) If in a hearing to establish a support obligation or to determine the amount due under an existing order, the administrative law judge (ALJ) postpones the hearing. A postponement is also called a continuance (see WAC 388-14A-3855 ); or (b) If any party files a petition for review of an initial decision which establishes or determines a current support obligation (see WAC 388-14A-3860 ). (2) For the purposes of this section and WAC 388-14A-3855 through 388-14A-3875 , "a party" means the division of child support (DCS), the noncustodial parent, or the physical custodian of the child.
