Maryland suspends thousands of licenses to enforce child support
The program began February 3 after a 1996 enabling act. By April 30, about 9,167 licenses were suspended statewide. Officials say the drive pressures nonpaying parents to support their children, issuing notices with 20 day response periods before suspension and 20 days to appeal. Travel-only licenses are available but driving elsewhere risks arrest. Some officials criticize nonpayers as prioritizing leisure over children.
