What does "ordered on arrears"
mean?
Your support order includes a periodic amount determined when your order was
established. For example, during a support conference it is determined that you
should receive $200 per month child support. In addition to the $200, an extra
$50 per month is added to pay off support debt. Support debt accumulates
between the time you apply for support and the time the order is entered and
begins to charge. Support debt may also accumulate when the defendant
does not pay support regularly. This support debt is called arrears
and the $50 is called the ordered on arrears.
-
What is the "order effective date "?
This date is determined by specific events on the case. It could be the
date that you and the defendant signed the support order, the date that you
filed a complaint for support or the date that both you and the defendant
agreed the order should start during the establishment conference. This date
starts the charging of the order.

What does "account balance " mean?
Account balance is the total amount of support that is to be paid to you
according to the support order. It includes any debt (arrears) and the current
charge. It does not include debt owed to welfare and fees owed to the county.
