Noncustodial parents may apply to the New York City Office of Child Support Services for a reduction or cancellation of arrears assigned to the New York City Department of Social Services through the Child Support Arrears Credit Program.

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.

With the approval of the court, the parties have the right to compromise and settle child support arrears owed directly to the person owed support (family-owed arrears). State-owed debt cannot be forgiven.

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.

Begin by addressing the letter to the appropriate recipient, whether it's the court or child support agency. Clearly state the reason for requesting the cancellation of child support payments. Provide any supporting documentation or evidence to strengthen your case. Be polite and professional in your tone and language.

If you qualify, you will be able to offer a compromise repayment to the state. In other words, you may offer to reduce the debt by paying an amount that is less than the full amount you owe. Any reduction in your arrears and interest owed will be based on your income and assets.

If there is past-due child support, the agency also must take something to start paying off the debt and interest. Generally, in Alaska, the maximum that can be withheld from a paycheck is 40% of the net disposable earnings.

Again, in California, as in most states, adult children usually do not have standing to sue a parent over unpaid child support that accrued when they were younger. The unpaid child support is usually considered to belong to the custodial parent.
