Areas of Practice:


Compromise of Arrears Program

UPDATE: Important New State Law

For cases where back child support is owed to the County, California has implemented a temporary program where the debt can be reduced up to 90%. Recently, we resolved a case where $9,790 was owed to the County; the case was settled in exchange for $2,198 (a reduction of nearly 80%).

In certain cases, the back child support can be reduced even more. In another recent matter, we settled a back child support debt of more than $24,000 in exchange for a lump sum payment of $587. This represented a reduction of more than 97%.

Since this is only a TEMPORARY PROGRAM and since you are required to continue making your regular monthly payments until a settlement is approved, it is IMPORTANT that you take action NOW !!!
