Actually, a past-due child support amount can't be "waived." The case is Williams vs. Patton, 821 SW2d 141 (1991).

However, once the child support arrearage has been reduced to judgment, it can be "waived."

In any case, if the custodial parent didn't have notice of the proceedings, there are problems with due process. You probably need to talk to a good family lawyer.
