INTEREST ON CHILD & SPOUSAL SUPPORT ARREARAGES.

By Ronn Bisbee

Each missed payment of child support and spousal support is a judgment by operation of law. Fam.C. 291. Accordingly, a judicial determination of arrearages is not required in order for interest to begin accruing. Interest begins to accrue on the day each payment was due, but not paid. Under California law, interest accrues on all child support and spousal support arrearages at the rate of 10% per year. CCP 685.010
