In United States law, the Bradley Amendment (1986, Public law 99-509, (a)(9)(c), Bill Bradley) requires state courts to prohibit retroactive reduction of child support obligations. Specifically, it: * automatically triggers a non-expiring lien whenever child support becomes past-due. * overrides any state's statute of limitations. * disallows any judicial discretion, even from bankruptcy judges. * requires that the payment amounts be maintained without regard for the physical capability of the person owing child support (the ''obligor'') to promptly document changed circumstances or regard for his awareness of the need to make the notification. But, like any other past-due debt, the obligee, typically a mother, may forgive what is owed to her. When past-due child support is owed to a state as a result of welfare paid out, the state is free to forgive some or all of it under what's known as an "offer in compromise". ==History== The amendment text was included in the Sixth Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, 1986, bill S.2706.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d099:SN02706:@@@L&summ2=m& )〕 :Subtitle C: Miscellaneous Provisions - Amends part D (Child Support) of title IV of the Act to prohibit the retroactive modification of child support arrearages except with respect to such arrearages which accumulate after the obligee and entity which is issued the child support order receive notice that the obligor has pending an active application for modification of such order.〔 Senator Bill Bradley, Democrat of New Jersey, introduced the amendment in an earlier bill on May 5, 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d099:S2404: )〕 It passed in the Senate with amendments with an 88-7 yea-nay vote on September 20, 1986.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bradley Amendment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
