Interest may be applied to unpaid support at the rate set by state law. In the such states, judgment interest often is decided in child support lawsuits in the same way it is in other civil judgments. States that charge interest usually start its accrual on the day the relevant child support payment becomes due and unpaid. A state's decision to award interest is based on important public policy decisions. Most states consider that the award of interest encourages obligors to pay their child support payments on time. Interest also provides the child a measure of compensation for his or her loss caused due to the delayed of the child support payments.
