If the court finds that the obligor is delinquent in the
payment of child support by C. Upon 30 days' notice to an obligor who (i) has failed to comply with a subpoena, summons, or warrant relating to paternity or child support proceedings or (ii) is alleged to be delinquent in the payment of child support by a period of 90 days or more or in an amount of $5,000 or more, the Department on behalf of an obligee may petition the court that issued the concealed handgun permit to the obligor for an order revoking such permit. The notice shall be sent by certified mail, with proof of actual receipt. The notice shall specify that (a) the obligor has 30 days from the date of receipt to comply with the subpoena, summons, or warrant or pay the delinquency or to reach an agreement with the obligee or the Department to pay the delinquency and (b) if compliance is not forthcoming or payment is not made or an agreement cannot be reached within that time, a petition will be filed seeking revocation of the concealed handgun permit issued by the Commonwealth to the obligor. If the court finds that the obligor holds a concealed handgun permit and either has failed to comply with a subpoena, summons, or warrant relating to paternity or child support proceedings or is delinquent in the payment of child support by a period of 90 days or more or in an amount of $5,000 or more, it shall revoke the permit of such obligor and shall promptly notify the Department of State Police and the person whose permit was revoked of the revocation.

D. The court shall not suspend a license, certificate, registration, or other such authorization or revoke a concealed handgun permit upon finding that an alternate remedy is available to the obligee or the Department that is likely to result in collection of the delinquency. Further, the court may refuse to order the suspension of such authorization or revocation of such permit upon finding that (i) suspension or revocation would result in irreparable harm to the obligor or employees of the obligor or would not result in collection of the delinquency or (ii) the obligor has made a demonstrated good faith effort to reach an agreement with the obligee or the Department. |
