re: #360 No Malarkey!

Under current law, once paternity is established, child support starts to accrue based on the earning potential of the non-custodial parent. It can’t be discharged in bankruptcy and is owed until it is paid.

Which sounds great, until you look at the national statistics for unpaid child support which is over $110 billion with almost 90% of those debts being 5 years of older.
