It depends on what you mean by make as offer. If you mean pay the total amount with interest in full, then yes, you can pay the amount and have the garnishment order. If you mean that you want to offer an amount that is LESS then the total owed, the CP would need to approve it.

Are you the LEGAL father? If so, unless and until paternity was dis-established, you ARE the "real" father. You may or may not be the biofather. That does NOT make the CS arrearage disappear, unless your state allows paternity fraud cases AND you prove paternity fraud. If you agreed to sign a paternity acknowledgement, or were named father by default because you never showed in court to ask for a DNA test, then bioparentage is not relevant any longer.

your pretty much screwed if your not the bio dad now.

and any lump sum payments should be made through CSE NOT through the CP.

CSE or a court are the only ones that can "lift the garnishment". You can try to work out a "deal" with the cp, but any agreement will still need to go through CSE for proper credit. Chances are that they will inform the CP that she is not obligated to take an amount less then the total owed.

As far as "other remedies", the other answers are correct, it's a little late in the game to make any changes to the paternity of the child. You are obviously the LEGAL father. If you weren't CSE would not be garnishing your wages.
