State Officials Encourge Catching Up On Back Child Support Payments

– It's called settlement week.

It offers non-custodial parents the opportunity to pay past due child support payments or make further arrangements.

Keith Horton is the state's child services director:

((we wanted to ensure that these families had everything they need during this economic downturn and especially during the holiday season ))

Besides making payments, Horton says the department will also offer assistance for those unemployed.
