The Compromise of Arrears Program (COAP) may reduce the amount of past due child support owed for a time period your child(ren) received public assistance. Contact our office for more information about qualifying for the program.

Under California law, the following strategies may be available to address back child support and arrears: Motion to Re-Determine Back Child Support. Compromise of Arrears Program. Suspension of Interest Under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Petition for 'Equitable Forgiveness' ... Motion to Set Aside Invalid Court Judgment.
