I have a current order to pay 850.00 in child support, plus $20.00 per month towards arrears, for a total of $870.00 which is garnished from my pay. The “regular” payment of $850.00 stops in June when my child graduates from high school, she turns 18 next week. I will owe $3000.00 in arrears at that time. Do I continue to pay the $20.00 per month until the $3000.00 is paid or will they continue to garnish my pay for the full amount of $870.00 until the arrears is paid?
Child support payments will continue at the same amount ($850/month) after the child has aged out until the arrears are paid in full.
