§ 2a:17-56.

If a child support obligation is terminated by operation of law pursuant to section

1 of P.L.2015, c. 223 ( C.2A:17-56.67 ), any arrearages that have accrued prior to the date of the termination shall remain

due and enforceable. If the person responsible for paying child support for a child owes child support

arrearages at the time a child support obligation is terminated and there are no other

children being supported under the same order, the amount to be paid to satisfy the

arrearage shall be the sum of the recurring child support obligation in effect immediately

prior to the effective date of the termination plus any arrears repayment obligation

in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the termination, unless otherwise

ordered by the court. For child support orders that are being administered by the Probation Division of

the Superior Court, the Probation Division shall continue to enforce and collect the

arrearages until they are paid in full or the court, in accordance with State and

federal law and regulations and the Rules of Court, as applicable, terminates the

Probation Division's supervision of the support order.
