Support Scheduler/Arrearage Calculator
One often overlooked extra feature ofย ROCSGย is theย Support Scheduler/Arrearage Calculator. Its purpose is to track support due dates and payment dates so as to provide a full and detailed rendering of the child support account from beginning to end. Calculating arrearages is a snap because utility functions allow you to enter the terms of a support order and any number of modifications so that literally hundreds of transactions can be entered in just a single step. For example, if an obligor was ordered to make $500 payments monthly starting August 15, 2008, you could simply enter the date and amount using theย Support Order utilityย and the program would instantly provide you withย a complete account that details each and every payment, together with a running balance. Let’s further suppose that the obligor started making payments in the beginning but stopped making payments after July 2012. We’ve included another utility called theย Payment Seriesย that will allow you to enter the starting and ending dates of the obligor’s consecutive payments in order to itemize and calculate a running balance on a payment-by-payment basis.
So if you ever encounter a situation where a child support obligor is disputing an arrearage, or you wish to verify the court’s accounting, or you want verify and contest the calculation of interest on an arrearage, theย Support Schedulerย will be your number one tool.
