Q. Does my fiancé have to pay his back child support to his ex-wife before we get married? Are there any legal implications if he has child support payments in arrears?
A. It is “not” a requirement to pay off back child support (otherwise known as “arrearages”) as a prerequisite to get married; however, please be aware that it’s important to keep your finances separate as, if you comingle funds in a joint checking account, the child support enforcement agency may come in and take “your” money as well. Don’t let this happen.
It’s important, if there are child support arrearages, your fiancé contact the child support collection agency and make payment arrangements. If this doesn’t work out well, then he can proceed to court to obtain an order from a judge regarding repayment. The child support collection agency must then follow this order.
