They're probably assessing the $25 from the CP because there's no statutory duty for the NCP to pay any sort of fee for the privilege of having the government garnish their checks.

i know here when you get a new job, there is a sheet that asks about child support, and if you fill out that you do pay it, they make arrangements to have it taken out without a fee. but how many delinquent/lazy/irresponsible parents would tell the truth? they figure new job, new situation, and it wont catch up with them.

I get Child Support letters for guys who haven't worked here in YEARS because they give them our info as a way to put them off for a few more weeks.

Your job collecting an administrative fee to recompense themselves for an expensive and time consuming task is different from a governmental agency adding a fee so it can collect money from you. What you have are very distinct situations.

It'd be like the IRS deciding to charge you a fee for sending in an itemized return (because it's harder on the IRS to process that return).
