New child support compliance program announced in Vanderburgh County
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Agencies in Vanderburgh County have announced a new partnership to strengthen the enforcement of court ordered child support.
The program is between the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, the prosecutor's office and the circuit court clerk.
When judges in Vanderburgh County issue non-compliance for child support the sheriff's office will contact the person to voluntarily comply.
If the compliance is not made within 45 days, their name and warrant information will be made public on the sheriff's office website.
'It's not about public shaming, the goal of the program is to get results,' said Vanderburgh County Sheriff Noah Robinson. 'It's not about enforcement, but results. We wanna create any opportunity for non compliant parents to meet their obligations.'
According to the Indiana Department of Child Services, the sheriff's office enforces nearly 8,000 child support cases.
There are currently 152 active child support 'writs of attachment' in Vanderburgh County.
