Interest Due On Child Support, Can State Take Retirement Accounts?

Question

I know someone who paid the child support but not the interest and it keeps adding up. Its almost at $90,000 and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. He pays $500 a paycheck but it doesn't even help because they keep charging him intrest upon intrest. Can the state take his retirement accounts to pay for the intrest that is for already paid child support?

Answer 1

Yes they can.  Because in reality the money is owed to the state.  Also can put him in jail

Answer 2

It depends on the source of the retirement.    He needs to sell some of his assets and make good with his kids.   That is a lot of support, and they have every right to it.
