Yes. The arrearages would be due regardless of whether the mother is awarded joint or full custodial rights. The judge would have the option of offsetting the arrearages if custody is altered and the father is ordered to pay support, or take other similar action. Additionally, in such cases, the judge will refuse to rule on custodial issues until the arrearages are paid or resolved to the satisfaction of the court. It is also possible that the judge could sentence the delinquent parent to jail time and/or seize property or ganish the income of the delinquent parent to pay the arrearages. Unless the custodial father voluntarily relinquishes his custodial rights or the court has reason to believe he is incapable of parenting, the mother has very little chance of being awarded custody as she has demonstrated a lack of responsibility to her children by her failure to honor her financial obligations.
