Remedies available for collection and enforcement of support also apply to cases where the child or children for whom support is owed are emancipated and the obligor owes past support or has an accumulated arrearage as of the date of the youngest child's emancipation. Child support arrearages include arrearages for child support, medical support, child care, pregnancy and birth expenses, and unreimbursed medical expenses.

This applies retroactively to any support arrearage that accrued on or before June 3, 1997, and to all arrearages accruing after June 3, 1997.

Past support or pregnancy and confinement expenses ordered for which the obligor has specific court ordered terms for repayment cannot be enforced using drivers' and occupational or professional license suspension, credit bureau reporting, or additional income withholding, unless the obligor fails to comply with the terms of the court order for repayment.

If an arrearage exists at the time a support order would otherwise terminate and no other exception applies, the arrearage must be repaid in an amount equal to the current support order until all arrears have been paid in full, absent a court order to the contrary.

If an arrearage exists according to a support order that fails to establish a monthly support obligation in a specific dollar amount, the public authority, if it provides child support services, or the obligee, may establish a payment agreement to equal what the obligor would pay for current support, plus an additional 20 percent of the current support obligation, until all arrears have been paid in full. If the obligor fails to enter into or comply with a payment agreement, the public authority, if it provides child support services, or the obligee, may move the district court or child support magistrate for an order establishing repayment terms.
