    Default How to Reduce Interest Payments on Past Due Support Payments

    My question involves child support in the State of: Texas

    I got behind on paying support for a couple of years and interest piled up. I've been paying regular monthly payments and my children are over the age of 18. My question is can i go back to court and get the interest reduced?

    Nope. The time value of money does not go away.

    I suspect that you can go back to court and "ask" for relief.

    Whether you get it or not is up to the judge.

    Do you know how to petition the court for an adjustment or will you need a lawyer? If you need a lawyer it strikes me that the lawyer's fees will be more than any interest reduction you'll get and if you don't get a reduction (since it's unlikely) you'll have wasted your money on the lawyer.

    Probably best to suck it up and keep paying until the arrears are paid off. Doesn't matter if your kids reach the age of 30 by the time you get it paid. It's not them that you owe it to.
