CS Arrearages & Tax Returns

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OK

Hey folks,

Random thought just popped into my head after reading another poster's question.

In our CO, dad(ncp) and I agreed that he would be able to claim to exemptions for our son every odd year, IF he is current on child support.

Dad is $2500 in arrears, but is supposedly currently paying CSE present CS plus $50 for arrearages monthly.

Now, this would be his year to claim son, but I guess I am confused on what "current" means in regards to CS.

By my calculations, Dad will still be $2200 in arrears at the end of the year. But if he pays every month between now and then, is he considered "current"?

To me current means he owes no arrears. Arrears by definition is not current.
