Another CS in CA question

[forthekids24]

As you told me below the CS will be retroactive to the date DCSS filed with the court 1/27/2004. (Even though DH and BM are stipulating to the amount)  

Once the agreement is signed she will automatically be in arrears.

Questions.

1) How long should we give her to pay it?

2) Will interest be charged starting the day the agreement is signed or will it be retroactive if she doesn't hand over a check that day?

I just want to make sure this whole thing is done by the book.

Thanks!

Usually, DCSS will arrange for the arrears to be paid in installments. If it's a lump sum, it must generally be paid in 30 days, otherwise interest starts to accrue, so full payment will require application of the interest addon.

It's up to the judge.
