First-time offenders may petition for expungement after 8 years if they have completed their sentence, remained current on all child support with no payment lapses, paid off all arrearages, and have no pending criminal or administrative child support actions
-
Periodic payments toward arrearages combined with current support payments shall not exceed 50% of the defendant's adjusted gross income after deductions for payroll taxes, medical insurance covering dependents, and other court-ordered support
-
Adds formal definition of "arrearage" to include unpaid child support and spousal support when the spousal support order also requires child support and the recipient is the custodial parent
