California compromise of arrears program


















Child support arrears owed to the government are accumulated through public assistance programs, such as foster care. If a parent qualifies for COAP, they may pay a smaller amount to satisfy their debt owed to the state, rather than the full amount owed.

If the obligor currently owes child support, the compromise offer requires the obligor to comply with their current child support order for a set period of time before additional arrears and interest can be compromised. The obligor should provide all evidence of their income and assets, including things like wage stubs, tax returns, and bank statements, to prove that their compromise offer amount is the most they can pay given their financial circumstances, and that the obligor has not withheld child support payments in advance of receiving their compromise offer.

The obligor must also meet any terms and conditions of the compromise, including paying current support in a timely fashion, making lump-sum payments, and paying arrears in exchange for the compromise of any interest that is owed. Child support arrears are child support payments that were left unpaid after the court entered a child support order.

Contrarily, back child support also known as retroactive child support are payments that cover past expenses, before the child support order was in place.
