FAQ
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.
Calculations are based on the net monthly income of both parties and consider factors such as other children in the home. A child support order may include medical support costs, child care costs and if the parties agree, custody and parenting time provisions.
On rare occasions, child support can be waived by filling out a Deviation Addendum. Reasons to deviate can vary, however, they must be approved by the local Friend of the Court and Prosecuting Attorney.
In Michigan, child support obligations normally last until the child turns 18 years old, but can continue up until the age of 19 and a half if the child is still in high school and lives full-time with the parent that gets child support.
YOU can't. The only way child support can be canceled is through a court order, or the completion of the court order--the child comes of age, and no more support is obligated. If the custodial parent does NOT want to receive the support, the custodial parent must apply to the court to have the support end dated.
On rare occasions, child support can be waived by filling out a Deviation Addendum. Reasons to deviate can vary, however, they must be approved by the local Friend of the Court and Prosecuting Attorney.
There are two ways you can ask to have arrears discharged (canceled). You can fill out the Request to Discharge State-Owed Debt form asking the Friend of the Court (FOC) to discharge support debt you owe to the State of Michigan only.
None. In the USA a father cannot opt out of child support. The only way around this is if the mother has remarried and her husband is allowed to adopt the baby. The father can relinquish his rights and a step parent adoption can take place.
Once again, parents in Michigan cannot agree to waive child support, even by agreement. As such, in order to stop paying child support, a parent must demonstrate that there has been a significant and material change in circumstances since the previous child support order was entered into.
