    Default Child Support Arrears After Child Turns 18

    My question involves child support in the State of: Florida
    My question is...I am behind on child support payments and the child turns 18 this month I will continue to pay my back support but I wanted to know does it stop adding up at 18 or does it continue arrears until paid in full?

    What do you mean by "it"? If you are telling us that your obligation to pay support ends automatically at age 18, or that you'll be eligible to bring a motion to terminate support at that time and will promptly do so, once the court terminates the ongoing support obligation you will only be paying toward arrears (and any interest that continues to accrue).

    Why would it not? Most things you don't pay on time accrue interest or are assessed some type of fee for not being on time.

    Some states don't require interest on unpaid Child Support...Florida is not one of them...

    Is the child graduating from high school this year? Or does the child have another year to go? That also makes a difference.
