Re: absolute divorce with child support arrears
The divorce itself is uncontested because you can file on the ground of being separated for at least 2 years. However, at the time of the divorce the judge will inquire about other matters pending. If the judge is satisfied with the status of the child support situation, you would still be able to get a divorce.
