Answer 1

If your state charges interest on you arrears you may have to increase your payment amount.I'm paying back support and it does seem like your not getting anywhere with it ( bummer )

Answer 2

Contact the child support office or atty general and find out exactly how much your in arrears for.  Then every month when you send in payment make sure you send in seperate checks or money orders and specifiy how that amount should be applied, whether current or past.  

My son was in prison and when he did get out he was 11,000.00 behind.  That wasen't much of an incentive to get a job.
