Family Court Act (FCT) CHAPTER 686, ARTICLE 5, PART 4
§ 548-b. Paternity or child support proceedings; suspension of state
professional, occupational and business licenses. (a) If the
respondent, after receiving appropriate notice, fails to comply with a
summons, subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support
proceeding, and the court has determined that the respondent is
licensed, permitted or registered by or with a board, department,
authority or office of this state or one of its political subdivisions
or instrumentalities to conduct a trade, business, profession or
occupation, the court may order such board, department, authority or
office to commence proceedings as required by law regarding the
suspension of such license, permit, registration or authority to
practice and to inform the court of the actions it has taken pursuant to
such proceeding.

(b) The court may subsequently order such board, department, authority
or office to terminate the suspension of the respondent's license,
permit, registration or authority to practice; however, the court shall
order the termination of such suspension when the court is satisfied
that the respondent has fully complied with all summons, subpoenas and
warrants relating to a paternity or child support proceeding.
