Can The Retroactive Amount be Waived? Can Child Support Arrears Be Forgiven in Pennsylvania? While this is not generally something that the court will bring up for you, there is a chance the retroactive amount can be waived if the two parents come to a mutual agreement.
The guidelines make financial support of a child a primary obligation. They assume that parties with similar net incomes will have similar reasonable and necessary expenses. After the basic needs of the parents have been met, the child's needs shall receive priority.
Likewise, if the parties decide to drop support after it has been entered they can do that too, as long as they both agree. However, if a support order does not go through the Domestic Relations Section, the courts cannot enforce the payments or collect the support.
If the noncustodial parent lives in another state, Pennsylvania and the other state are required by law to cooperate in enforcement of the child support obligation.
Yes, child support can be waived in Pennsylvania. Although the state holds no such burden if both parents reach an agreement and can demonstrate that they can support a child without child support, a child support claim is always modifiable in Pennsylvania.
Not typically, although the order can be terminated early if the child becomes emancipated. For those looking for child support loopholes in PA, you are out of luck. Although, through a court process, a child can be emancipated because they are able to support themselves.
There are 2 main ways to end a child support obligation in Pennsylvania. One is voluntary termination. This is possible when the person who pays the support and the person who receives it voluntarily agree as part of a settlement agreement that the obligation may end.
You can contact the Attorney General's office to ask that the adverse reporting be removed. If there are arrears showing in your credit, you might ask the other parent to release the arrears so that the OAG's records show that you are current in your payments.
The good news is yes, child support arrears can potentially be forgiven. You would need to have a joint petition filed along with the other parent though, showing that you are both in mutual agreement and jointly requesting that the arrears be waived or forgiven.
