Nah. I didn't have to, and my lawer said I didn't have to!(I am serious.)=This may depend on the state and county you live in.

If arrears is still owed once the child turns 18 will child support payments continue until the arrears is paid off?

It all depends on WHO the arrears are being paid to. If the father was paying support directly to the mother, the back support/arrears would go to the mother. The support was never owed to the child, who has no standing in it. The payments are supposed to assist the mother by helping her to raise the child until the legal age of adulthood or whatever age was specified in the support decree. The support money belongs to her and if she chooses to turn it over to the child that his her business. Legally, the child has no claim on it. ON THE OTHER HAND: If the arrears are being paid to the state - the father is simply reimbursing the state for spending taxpayers money to support her for all the time he did not pay, and neither the mother nor the child has any claim on it.


Why im payin two state child support for the same child?

Can you modify an order that the noncustodial parent gets to claim child on their taxes if he has never met child and is behind by 13 grand in child support?

The custodial parent should file for a modification of that order as soon as possible. Also, she should file a motion for contempt at the same time and get an action going for child support arrears.
