Cite as: 43 CNCA § 514

If the order is established under Cherokee Nation law, delinquent court-ordered child support payments and child support judgments (whether accrual or arrearage) may draw interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per year, and the interest shall be collected in the same manner as the payments upon which the interest accrues. If the order is established under another jurisdiction's laws, interest shall accrue based on the law of the jurisdiction from which the order originated. Private interest may be waived by the custodial parent/party and/or by the Court if the non-custodial parent makes regular, consistent payments and no arrearage exists.
