Does the Child Support Regulator have the power to prevent a plaintiff from moving to another state to avoid paying child support?

The CSRA was meant to address the problem "by taking the incentive out of moving interstate to avoid payment." Id.; see also Black, 125 F.3d at 458 (discussing the legislative history of CSRA). Interpreting the terms of the statute so as to prevent restitution for the accrued interest on delinquent child support payments -when the interest is mandatorily imposed pursuant to state law -would both frustrate the objective of interstate collection and preserve the incentive for moving out of state when the state-incurred obligation is significant enough (as is the case here, where accrued interest accounts for over one-third of the total delinquent support obligation). To adopt such an interpretation would not only contradict the plain language of the statute, but also "would create an additional obstacle to compliance, contrary to the manifest purposes of the Act." United States v. Collins, 921 F. Supp. 1028, 1031-32 (W.D.N.Y. 1996).
