    Default Abatement of Just the Arrears

    My question involves child support in the State of: Michigan
    My name is Kelvin. I am currently paying childsupport now that I have a new job. However, I owe 28k in arrears and I am currently on probation for Felony-Non support for the arrears. My question is: Can the arrears be abated and I continue to pay my current support? I undestand that the current and the arrears are two seperate issues now, because the original order to pay childsupport was violated. Now the arrears is on my credit report, can chapter 7, under the bankrupcy laws, help me to remove it as bad credit history? Or do I need the mother to agree to the abatement of the arrears?

    The court will not retroactively modify your child support. If you can convince the mother to forgive debt owed to her, you and she can stipulate to an order to that effect.
