To assist non-custodial parents who are currently excluded from COAP and still wish to make an offer to compromise, there is the Interim Compromise of Arrears Program.
I-COAP will be limited to cases that meet the following criteria:
- You must owe the government at least $5000 in child support arrears.
- You must not owe current child support.
- You must be able to pay off arrears in lump sum payment.
- You can have more than one case in Sacramento County; total of arrears for all cases must be minimum $5000.
- You do not have another child support case in another county.
- You do not have the ability to pay all child support arrears owed within five years.
- You have not been convicted, nor had a contempt finding for failure to pay child support within the last three years.
