If the person who owes support is a licensed attorney, the court shall file a complaint with the disciplinary administrator if the licensing body is the Kansas supreme court, or the appropriate bar counsel's office if the licensee practices in another state.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall apply if the court finds, after notice to all interested parties, that: (1) The support debtor owes past due child support in an amount equal to or greater than three months' child support; (2) the support debtor is or may be licensed to practice a profession by a licensing body as defined in K.S.A. 74-146, and amendments thereto; and (3) the debtor has failed, after a reasonable opportunity, to comply with a payment plan previously established by the court or a written payment plan agreed upon by the parties.
