The question doesn't make any sense. Are you asking if they have to take the money? You never have to take money, but the non-custodial parent is within his or her rights to insist that you put your refusal in writing, so that he (let's just be honest here, it's almost certainly "he") doesn't get accused of being a deadbeat dad.
If the plan is to refuse child support and then claim the other parent didn't pay it, then that's a) probably illegal and b) pretty scummy and c) doesn't really matter anyway; you don't get to renege on your obligations just because the other party didn't meet theirs.
Technically arrears cannot be waived. However, a custodial parent can fill out a form stating that no child support is due.
Child support arrears should always be established in the court that issued the child support order because once established they do not go away. The custodial parent should stay on top of the case and continue to pursue the matter in court.
Not even if he wasn't in arrears.
Only with the agreement of the custodial parent/obligee (which may include the State), and the courts.
No. Child support arrears are owed to the parent.
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
yes, with the court's approval
No. If there were arrears in this case it was owed to the custodial parent. The child does not get child support or arrears.
Child support arrears do not go away. The custodial parent can continue to pursue arrears until they are paid off.

You have the same chance you had before. Child support and custody are 2 different cases in court.
First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
