A Child Support Arrears Forgiveness Letter is a document that can be used by a custodian parent (or legal guardian) when they want to waive the responsibility of the other parent (or legal guardian) to pay child support. The purpose of the letter is to inform the appropriate court (or family court judge) about the matter and to express the official forgiveness of the child support arrear (or arrears).
Generally, this letter is supposed to be used when there has been a delay in child support payment, and the custodian parent contacted the payer of child support. After they found out the circumstances why they did not receive the child support and they find them significant, they can fill in a Child Support Arrears Forgiveness Letter and submit it to the court.
Completing this letter is a straightforward process. Before submitting it, the custodian parent should check whether the court has developed a specific form for this letter. If not, they can use a Child Support Arrears Forgiveness Letter template which is available for download below. This letter must provide the court with information about both parents (or legal guardians), the forgiveness of arrears, and the reasons why the arrears can be forgiven.
