Managing Child Support Debt

This toolkit tells you about your options if you owe a lot of unpaid child support (called “arrears”). It also tells you about your options if your child’s other parent has arrears and asks the court for a payment plan and discharge of arrears. For general information about getting a payment plan and discharge of remaining arrears, read the Articles. Read the Common Questions if you have a specific question. If you want to ask the court for a payment plan and discharge of your child support arrears, use the Forms link to prepare your forms. The Checklist below has step-by-step instructions to ask the judge for a payment plan and discharge of arrears. Go to Courts & Agencies for information about the court or agency that will handle your case.

You'll find links to legal aid offices and lawyer referral services under Find A Lawyer. If there is a Self-Help Center in your area you can get more help there. If you need something other than legal help, look in Community Services. If you need a fee waiver, an interpreter, a court to accommodate your disability, or more information about going to court, visit Going to Court.
