     Termination of an Order Due to Death - In the event of the death of an individual    associated to a case, a request may be made to the Court or Administrative Hearing Officer to possibly terminate a support order, if appropriate.

     Affidavit of Arrearages - It is possible in some cases to waive the arrears on a case if both parties agree. This action is completed by an Affidavit of Arrearages. This action is limited only to Montgomery County Domestic Relations Orders and Montgomery County Administrative Orders. If parties wish to waive arrears on a case that is with the Montgomery County Juvenile Court it is a court requirement that the parties go through the court for this action. When waiving arrearages on a case the parties cannot waive any arrearages that are owed to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services due to public assistance involvement. A completed affidavit signed and notarized by both parties, along with a financial explanation of the reason the arrears are being waived, is required for this action. In some cases the affidavit may not be accepted by the Court. If the court does not accept the affidavit the parties will need to take other actions through the court system. Montgomery County cannot waive arrearages on another state's order.

     Termination of Support due to Legal Change of Custody - In the event that there has been a Legal Change of Custody (not Physical Change of Custody) of a child on a case, it may be possible to forward the information to the Court or Administrative Hearing Officer in attempt to terminate support for that specific child.

The parties are required to contact the CSEA if the required event has or is about to occur to terminate Spousal Support.
