Suspension of Driving Privileges and Child Support Arrearage We can help you get your driving privileges restored. If you have been notified that your driver’s license is about to be suspended or has already been suspended because you are behind on your child support payments, contact an experienced New York driver’s license suspension lawyer at the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates.
Not only can your driver’s license be suspended, but other licenses as well such as business licenses, professional licenses, occupational licenses, and recreational licenses. They can be suspended as a strategy to enforce child support collection. What might be surprising to some is that in New York, under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 510, your driving privileges can be suspended for something that has nothing at all to do with driving. In New York there are many reasons that a driver’s license can be suspended, including driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving without insurance, reckless driving, and multiple speeding tickets. Having a suspended license may impact your ability to get to work, to take your kids to school, to run errands, and to generally get things done. Now you are frustrated because you will be facing an even higher fine for driving on a suspended license, you are no longer permitted to drive, and your insurance rates are sure to increase. Of course, you are already annoyed that you may be facing a ticket with a high fine for the traffic violation. It would be quite shocking to be stopped by the police, and instead of the officer simply issuing you a ticket for speeding, running a red light, or for some other traffic violation, the officer informs you that your license has been suspended.
