I’m a veteran and my driver's license has been suspended due to unpaid child support. Is there anything I can do?

You can try to fix this two ways:

File a motion to reinstate your driver's license and registration with the Court in the county that issued your support order.
Contact the Department of Revenue Child Support Program. If they have an open file for your support case, they might be willing to sign an agreement to reinstate your license.

Either way, you will probably have to pay a lump sum to reinstate your license. You will also need to pay reinstatement fees to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
