California Compromise of Arrears Program Report to State Legislature
In response to a dramatic growth in child support arrears in the 1990’s and a study of the arrears by the Urban Institute entitled “Examining Child Support Arrears in California”, the California Legislature enacted a law allowing compromise of arrears and interest owed as reimbursement of public assistance by non-custodial parents in exchange for partial payment of arrears, or in some cases, current child support to the family. The legislation also required the Department of Child Support Services to report back to the Legislature on the effectiveness of California’s Compromise of Arrears Program (COAP).
