The time depends, among other things, on how efficient your State child support agency is, whether the joint filer files w/IRS for return of all or part of that refund as the "injured spouse," and whether the taxpayer/obligor appeals the intercept of that refund.

There really is no way to determine when or if the IRS will seize a tax refund in such a situation. If there is outstanding arrearages the IRS can without due process seize the amount of the return and relay it to the state CSE agency of jurisdiction.

In such cases the IRS will notify the person in writing of the act and the reason for such. It might be possible to find out the status of a return by calling the IRS toll free number (1-800-829-3676) or contacting them directly. A simpler method would be to check the IRS website.

That depends on factors such as how efficient your State's child support agency is at distributing payments and whether the obligor has appealed the intercept.

Can the obligated parent discharge child support arrearages in a bankruptcy once the child reaches the age of 18?

If what you mean is can back owed child support payments be discharged in bankruptcy: NO. Regardless of how old the child is now. on the other hand if you mean to be included in the repayment schedule for a chapter 13 then yes. Child support arrearages can sometimes be included in bankruptcy. This pertains to arrearages only and not to current support due. A bankruptcy petition cannot override a court order of support and if arrearages are allowed to be included in a 13 the arrearages must be paid in full, not a percentage thereof, as is possible with unsecured creditors.
