Story Behind the Curve
When current support is not paid on time, the unpaid amounts, plus surcharges and penalties, become arrearages still owed to the children. These unpaid balances may still be recovered for the custodial parent after the children turn 18.
The more cases that have payment toward past-due support, the higher this percentage will be.
