If you owe a child support arrearage to the State of Michigan you may be eligible to have some or all of that arrearage discharged. If arrears are owed to the State of Michigan, I will provide notice to the Office of Child Support at least 56 days before the hearing on this matter. 9. If you qualify for the lump sum program, you will be required to complete a DHS-682 form and return it to the Friend of the Court. You can fill out the form, print it, sign it, and drop it off in the drop box on the first floor of 82 Ionia Ave. NW, Grand Rapids, 49503. If the parents agree to a lump sum settlement for arrears owed to the family, DCS has a forgiveness of arrears form, which the parties can sign. These forms are for parents who agree to ask the court to cancel all or part of their child support or spousal support order.
