Child support back pay cannot be totally forgiven or waived, but there are a few situations that can help you handle it. Double-check the amount the court states you are in arrears.Back pay does accrue interest but, in some cases, you may not have to pay all of it. You can request a manageable payment schedule.

When you lose your job the legal obligation to pay child support does not stop it will not go away. If there are arrears of payment of child support the amount of the arrears is not waived. Becoming a bankrupt does not extinguish the arrears the debt survives the bankruptcy.

The court estimates that the cost of raising one child is $1,000 a month. The non-custodial parent's income is 66.6% of the parent's total combined income. Therefore, the non-custodial parent pays $666 per month in child support, or 66.6% of the total child support obligation.

In Oregon, child support payments continue until the child is 18, or longer, if the child is enrolled at least half-time in a school or training program.In addition to the amount given by the guidelines, one or both parents must cover the cost of the child's health insurance, medical care, and childcare.

A custodial parent can waive or forgive all arrears owed to him or her directly. Use the Account Summary from the SCU to determine what arrears are owed to the parent, and what arrears are owed to the state (if the custodial parent ever received Public Assistance).

Child support is calculated using the gross monthly income of both parents and the number of overnights the child spends in each household.
