Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the judicial review of the administrative hearing decisions of the department of human services pursuant to this part shall be conducted by the court having jurisdiction of the support order as otherwise provided by § 4-5-322.
If any administrative action of the department pursuant to this part is not based upon an existing order of support or paternity, the party seeking judicial review shall file the petition for review of the department's actions in the chancery court of the county of the person's residence, or the county where an entity was served with an administrative subpoena or was notified of a request for information. If the department is enforcing any order of a Title IV-D agency of any other state and there has been no assumption of jurisdiction of the support order by a Tennessee court, the petition for judicial review shall be filed in the county of the residence of the person in Tennessee against whom the request, administrative order or administrative subpoena is issued or the county where an entity was served with an administrative order, administrative subpoena or was notified of a request for information. No judicial review may result in the forgiveness of any support arrearages.
The judicial review shall be limited to the review of the record of the department's hearing as otherwise provided in § 4-5-322.
