Child Support Debt

Child support debt is the amount of money a non-custodial parent owes for the financial support of their child, usually resulting from missed or late payments. It accumulates over time if payments are not made as ordered by a court or agreed upon. This debt covers expenses like food, clothing, education, and healthcare. If unpaid, it can lead to legal actions, wage garnishments, or asset liens. It's intended to ensure the child's needs are met, and resolving it often involves setting a repayment plan or addressing underlying issues preventing timely payments.
