For various reasons, my ex has accrued significant child support debt. At his current pay, the maximum that is withheld from his pay does not even cover the interest on his debt. So he is getting further and further behind while paying the maximum allowed based on his income.
I am no saint, but I can see a disincentive for him to continue to pay the support if he can't even cover the interest. I contacted the Division of Child Support Enforcement in AZ and they vaguely said that "the State cannot forgive" any of the arrearages. None of the arrearages are owed to the State TANF agency.
Can I forgive a portion of the arrearages? If so, does anyone know what portion and how I might go about it? About 40% of the debt is accrued interest.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
