Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: child support interest

I would recommend consulting with a family law attorney licensed in California. Although you live in Washington the applicable law and location where it is being applied appears to be California. If the other party registers the order in Washington under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act there may be issues to address here, but I don't understand that to be the situation.

Reply: child support interest

California statute provides for the accumulation of interest at the rate of 10% per annum, simple interest, on all unpaid judgments, including child support judgments.

Good luck to you!

Re: child support interest

Was there a support order in 1987? The D.A. can enforce a judgment in this manner - but there has to be an order/judgment to enforce.

If you would like assistance, please Call my office or email me at [email protected]. If they are going back ten years, there are a number of things you can do such as compromising the amount owed. There is a new statute effective 1/1/2005 regarding arrears and the ability of the D.A. to go back - I would need more facts to see if this applies.
