Interest can be charged to unpaid support at the rate set by state statute. In the such states, judgment interest usually is determined in child support matters in the same way it is in other civil judgments. States that charge interest generally begin its accrual on the day the relevant child support payment becomes due and unpaid. A state's decision to award interest rests on important public policy considerations. Many states consider that the award of interest compels obligors to pay their child support payments on time. Interest also gives the child a measure of compensation for the loss caused because of the tardiness of the child support payments.
