Summary
In Florida, dismissing child support arrears involves mutual agreement, financial hardship, or legal defenses. Even if the child is over 18, arrears usually remain due. A dismissed without prejudice letter indicates arrears can be revisited. License suspension can result from non-payment. Typically, the person owing arrears or their attorney files motions, but the custodial parent may also be involved. Consulting a lawyer is advisable for navigating these issues.Full Conversation
