Throughout the United States, many cities are choosing to crack down on parents that are seriously behind on their child support payments. One such city is Salem, which is located in the state of Massachusetts.
During the month of April, the Salem County Sheriff's Office cleared 46 child support warrants that involved 29 separate offenders. Of the 29 offenders, police managed to collect $2,738 in delinquent child support payments. The police department also managed to serve 19 warrants and 8 Superior Court Warrants. The recent crackdown led to the arrest of 18 offenders, as well.
According to the Salem County Sheriff's Office, 8 individuals negotiated settlements for their delinquent child support payments, which was a great win for the Department's Child Support Staff. At this time, the Child Support Staff said that it would continue to make a commitment to collecting missed child support payments so that families and children would have necessary means.
