Hat depends on related factors. In Missouri, the obligation to pay child support does not end with the death of the obligor by state law. Also, most very large arrears are not a result of non-payment, but as a result of up to 18 year retroactive child support awards on children the men did not know existed. There are men who refuse to pay, but 30% of all child support is paid be men who have since learned they are not the father of the children. In 20 states they cannot fie to have it stopped, and in the other 30 states, they have just 24 months to learn they are not the father. They tend to begin refusing to pay, as was the case in the news about a Georgia man who spent over a year in jail.

The total amount of arrears has jumped in the last year due to layoffs and men not knowing they don't need an attorney to get a modification.
