Answer to Florida Court Forms Child Support Question
Dear Anonymous,
I am not aware that there is any process to forgive child support arrears. There is no statute of limitations in the state of Florida for child support arrears.
If you're saying that you do not owe this child support, and the custodial parent agrees that is true, you may be able to petition the court and/or the Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement to end all enforcement actions.
However, if the custodial parent ever collected any type of services from the state of Florida, such as Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF), you will be required to repay the state of Florida.
