Posted on Nov 11, 2008 9:38am PST
In South Carolina, laws surrounding child support and child support payments have become increasingly strict. For example, in Newberry, SC, police arrested 13 parents that were delinquent with their child support payments.
Overall, in that region, law enforcement reports that a group of 23 parents owe $260,135 in delinquent child support payments.
The 13 parents that were apprehended and placed under arrest are facing up to a year in prison if they are convicted. They will also face other legal penalties such as court fees, probation, and fines. Additionally, their custodial agreements may be revisited due to their delinquencies.
At this time, South Carolina Deputies report that they are still looking to arrest 12 other parents. These other parents owe over $100,000 in back child support.
