How much child support are you owed?
Use the resources below to determine how to answer this critical question. It is important that you have an accurate estimate and to know that laws concerning interest applied to unpaid child support are enforced.
Estimate how much back child support you are owed
What is the exact amount of back child you are owed?
Determining how much unpaid child support is owed to you can be a complex process. Many things need to be taken into consideration beyond the terms of your original court order such as:
- state-specific interest rates can be applied to child support debt.
- some states apply simple interest and others use compound interest.
- state interest rates change over time and apply to your balance during that timeframe.
- modifications to or judgments on your order can affect arrears calculations over time.
- custody changes and emancipation of children must be factored in.
- welfare or TANF cash assistance you might have received.
- timing and amount of previous payments made by the non-custodial parent.
While your local state child support office is a good resource to use to find out how much you are owed, the balance they provide often does not include the compounding interest and that makes a significant impact on the total.
