I am paying child support through dor for 2 kids, one just turned 18 last year so they sent me a letter?

Question

from dept of revenue saying that i dont have to pay for him anymore but i still have to pay my arrears, i was out of work a couple of years ago and i fell behind in my payments, now it says i will have to pay 125 percent what does that mean?

Answer 1

It means that for period you did not pay you must pay the full amount you owe plus an extra quarter of that amount on top.For example if you owed £100 you should pay £100 plus £25 which is a quarter of £100 so you should pay £125 in total.

Answer 2

You have to pay what you owe.. plus a penalty for falling behind.
