Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh announced that her Summit County Child Support Enforcement Agency has reached a major milestone. CSEA has collected over $60million from criminal non-support cases since the Criminal Non-support Unit was created in 2001. The special unit prosecutes parents who are in default of their child support obligation and have not made a payment in more than 6 months. Prosecution is a last resort for a parent who has been offered employment assistance or enrollment in Family Support Matters, a child support non-payment diversion program. Prosecution is also a last resort after Child Support Case Workers make numerous attempts to work out payment arrangements, help non-paying parents apply for waivers, or use other enforcement tools– such as civil contempt, driver’s license suspension, income withholding, liens and tax offsets.
