FAQ

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.

To obtain a judgment lien, you must first record the judgment with the court of common pleas in the county where the debtor owns property. The lien will stay in effect for five years, but can be renewed, if the debtor does not sell the property within that time period.

Pennsylvania judgments are valid for 5 years. Judgments can be revived every 5 years and should be revived if a creditor is attempting to actively collect on the debt. Judgments also act as a lien against real property for up to 20 years or longer if properly revived.

If a parent falls more than 3 months behind in paying child support, the domestic relations office can suspend the parent's driver's license, hunting or fishing license, or any professional license.

If the other parent will agree to dismissing the arrearage, you may write up an agreement, and both of you can sign the agreement. Then, submit the agreement to the judge who has jurisdiction over the child support case.

If you are looking to change your child support agreement or end it, you need to talk to an attorney and then take it to court. Only a judge can determine if it's time to modify your child support payments or terminate them completely.

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.

Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date.

A judgment lien expires after 5 years from the date it is recorded but may be rerecorded once for another period of 5 years not less than 120 days before the expiration of the initial judgment.
