(17), any person, other than the obligor who is liable to pay the support out of which the levy arose, who claims an interest in or lien on that property and claims that that property was wrongfully levied upon may bring a civil action against the county child support agency in the circuit court for the county where the court order for the payment of support, upon which the seizure is based, was first entered or last modified. That action may be brought whether or not that property has been surrendered to the department or the county child support agency. The court may grant only the relief under par. (b). No other action to question the validity of or restrain or enjoin a levy by the department or a county child support agency may be maintained.

AB100,870,2 (b) Remedies. In an action under par. (a), if a levy would irreparably injure rights to property, the court may enjoin the enforcement of that levy.

AB100,870,17 (18) Preservation of remedies. The availability of the remedies under this section does not abridge the right of the department to pursue other remedies.
