§ 111-q. Voiding of fraudulent transfers of income or property. The
department or a social services district, or its authorized
representative, after obtaining information that a debtor has
transferred income, property or other assets to avoid payment to a child
support creditor shall, pursuant to article ten of the debtor and
creditor law (1) commence a proceeding to void such transfer; or (2)
obtain a settlement that is in the best interests of the child support
creditor. Provided, however, that no settlement shall reduce or annul
any arrears of child support which have accrued prior to the date of
settlement.
