Enforcement of arrears-only child support case

  • 1.  Enforcement of arrears-only child support case

    Posted 10-07-2015 01:20 PM

    This is one of those we all seem to "know" and have heard, but when you need a cite....

    Client's / NCP's son graduated from High School in June and has joined the military. Client has arrears. Once the court enters an order as to emancipation, and the probation filed becomes "arrears only", it's supposed to be entered as a judgment and isn't subject to the same aggressive enforcement methods.

    Or am I wrong? Is there a statute, rule, case, anything that states this? -- That when a case becomes "arrears only", it's enforceable only as any other civil judgment?

    Thanks,
