At U.S. Child Support Enforcement Agency, we are clear that the discovery and handling of deadbeat parents is our duty. Often, children cannot fight for these required rights and additional support on their own.
Thanks to the Deadbeat Parents Punishment Act ((DDPA) of 1998, though, the legal power is on the side of children. This entails that a felony punishment for any parent who moves to another state, or country, with the intention of evading any child support payments can be prosecuted. If the debt has remained greater than the sum of $5,000 or has remained unpaid for a year, it can be pursued.
Across America, parents that are divorced – or have separated without marriage – have a legal obligation to support the children they have born into this world. Too many children, though, are left without the support they need, desire, and deserve.
Evading court-ordered child support is a felony, and it will catch up with any deadbeat engaging in such activities. Since our formation, we have fought back against such activities. With the support of various federal, state, and local agencies, we ensure that child support collection tools which are available are utilized to support the children who deserve assistance.
Whether you are a parent looking for support or a deadbeat on the run, children deserve the support they are entitled to. Contact us today to discuss your situation further, and we will do everything we can to support a positive resolution for your child.
