(2) Except as provided in ORS 25.550, hearings shall be conducted by an administrative law judge assigned from the Office of Administrative Hearings.
(3) The administrative law judge may issue subpoenas for witnesses necessary to develop a full record. The attorney of record for the office of the Division of Child Support or the office of the district attorney may issue subpoenas. Witnesses appearing pursuant to subpoena, other than parties or officers or employees of the administrator, shall receive fees and mileage as prescribed by law for witnesses in ORS 44.415 (2). Obedience to the subpoena may be compelled in the same manner as set out in ORS 183.440 (2).
(4) Upon issuance of an order, action by the administrator to enforce and collect upon the order, including arrearages, may be taken.

(5) An order issued by the administrative law judge or the administrator is final. The order shall be in full force and effect while any appeal is pending unless the order is stayed by a court. A court may not grant a stay unless there is substantial evidence showing the obligor would be irreparably harmed and that the obligee would not be irreparably harmed.
(6) Appeal of the order of the administrative law judge or any default or consent order entered by the administrator pursuant to ORS 25.501 to 25.556 may be taken to the circuit court of the county in which the order has been entered pursuant to ORS 25.529 for a hearing de novo.
