      "title": "The Bradley Amendment: Prohibition Against Retroactive Modification of Child Support Arrearages",
      "summary": "The Bradley Amendment prohibits the retroactive State modification of child support arrearages. \nUnder current law, no matter what the circumstances, a State cannot modify delinquent child support\nobligations. The Amendment has come under criticism by noncustodial parent advocacy groups\nbecause of the inflexibility of its application. Supporters of the Amendment argue that it prevents\naffluent parents from avoiding delinquent child support obligations. Pending legislation in the 106th\nCongress, while not repealing the Amendment, would have the effect of modifying the application\nof the Amendment under certain circumstances.",
