    (a) Remedies available for the collection and enforcement 
 of support in this chapter and chapters 256, 257, and 518C also

 is owed are emancipated and the obligor owes past support or has 
 an accumulated arrearage as of the date of the youngest child's

 ordered for which the obligor has specific court ordered terms 
 for repayment may not be enforced using drivers' and 
 occupational or professional license suspension, credit bureau 
 reporting, and additional income withholding under section 
 518.6111, subdivision 10, paragraph (a), unless the obligor 
 fails to comply with the terms of the court order for repayment.
