I've read many posts about NCP's who are thousands of dollars behind in child support, putting them in arrears. My son's dad keeps up pretty well on his child support (I suppose he doesn't have much of a choice, considering his wages are garnished), but it seems that each month that my son's dad doesn't pay the full amount of ordered child support, it simply adds on to his arrears...(bio dad is only about $260 behind, which totals a month in support), my question is this--how exactly are arrears handled? When will bio dad be expected to pay off these arrears? It almost seems as if NCP's have the ultimatum of either 1) paying their child support each month, or 2) just falling behind...and classifying the upaid support as "arrears"...Just a curious question...if anyone has an explanation, I'd be happy to hear it. Thanks!
