Re: child support - arrears

The final termination of child support is at age 21, unless the child is emancipated by marriage, a full time job, joining the armed services, etc.

How much arrears do you owe?

WE may be able to negotiate a settlement of the arrears, and/or lower the amount that you have to pay per pay period.

Please contact me, so that we can discuss the matter further
