↑Expands rights of the paying or noncustodial parentmodel confidence 90%
Lowers the interest rate on overdue child support from 6% to 3%, reducing the total amount owed by the paying parent over time.
Interest accrues on the portion of delinquent child support that is greater than the amount of the monthly periodic support obligation at the rate of three [deleted: six] percent simple interest per year
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill reduces the simple interest rate on delinquent child support, arrearages, and related judgments from 6% to 3% per year, with transitional rules that apply the lower rate going forward; this decreases the paying parent's total obligation and is therefore classified as expands on the custody-support/child-support axis.
