Yes; typically, payment on arrears is a percentage of the payment for current support.
No, the child support order should be extinguished at the same time you regain custody.

Even with no arrears, at the request of the Obligee.
In many jurisdictions, yup.
Child support arrears do not go away. If the state supported his child for a period of time then he must pay the arrears.
I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
yes because you are alooser?
If it is arrears of support then there is no limitation of time if you owed it you must pay. However going forward child support stops when the child becomes an adult.
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. In parts of PA, if the grandparents are given custody of a child or have custody of a child, they CAN petition for child support, and yes the parents would have to pay for the care of that child.=
Yes according to Judge David Grey Ross, Commissioner of the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement.
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.
There can be only one amount for current support at any one time. However, there is no law to prevent more than one State from collecting support as long as the total collected does not exceed the amount of current support PLUS the amount in arrears, if any.
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.
