Best Answer

The custodial parent can take you to court for contempt and the court can issue a new order for payment of the arrears. At the request of the custodial parent, the state may take various actions to collect that support, such as asking the courts to put you in jail for contempt, taking your tax refund or serving a wage assignment on your employer. You should be making payments against the arrears.

You may be able to negotiate a cash settlement for a lesser amount if you can borrow the money to pay the arrears. For example, the custodial parent may agree to accept $15,000 if paid immediately.

Why is he still paying the support if the child is 25? IFit's because he was behind in the payment and therefore owes back support, then that continues until it's paid in full.Otherwise, he can return to the court and file papers to end support. He has to take a positive action to make it end.
