Sec 7.10 Noncompliance With An Order For Support, As Basis for Discipline

Here's a plain-English summary of this rule:

If a lawyer fails to pay child support or other court-ordered support, the court can send proof of this to the Oklahoma Bar Association. Once the Bar's General Counsel gets this proof, they must start looking into the matter. This isn't optional. The rule requires them to investigate.

The investigation then follows the same standard process used for other complaints against lawyers. This means not paying support you owe can turn into a professional discipline case, not just a debt problem. A lawyer who ignores a support order risks consequences that go beyond fines or wage garnishment. Their law license and career could be on the line too.
