Have arrears for child support. My question is, when I file for 2017 how long does it take them to take their money & give the rest that is owed from the tax return?

How long does it take to get the rest of your return, after child support takes what they need? Filing electronically.

That process usually adds 1 - 2 weeks to the timeline.
