Arrears or Arrearages in California Divorce
Arrears or arrearages are unpaid child support or spousal support or alimony payments for past periods owed by a parent who is obligated to pay by court order or judgment.
The arrears or arrearages may include interest and may be adjusted for the amount of any partial satisfaction of the judgment.
California state laws have made it difficult and in some cases nearly impossible to get rid of arrears or arrearages. In general, back child support or spousal support or alimony may not be canceled in a bankruptcy proceeding and may not be retroactively canceled. In other words, once arrears or arrearages are owed, it is likely it will always be owed until the arrears or arrearages are paid off.
A spouse or parent of a divorce or domestic partnership who is unable to fulfill his/her payment obligations may want to consider consulting a family law attorney about a temporary modification of his/her payment obligations before the arrears or arrearages builds up.
