The father of my daughter owes back support can we excuse him

If the state has a claim for reimbursement from the child support arrears, the state likely would not agree to waive the arrears. The state would have a claim to reimbursement if, foe example, the state provided the child with public assistance.

If the state has no claims to reimbursement, the state likely would not object to the arrears being waived.

Paperwork likely need to be filed with the court and the child support enforcement office.
