Child Support Amnesty Program Launched in Clark County, NV

Parents facing legal repercussions after failing behind on their child support payments have been given a chance to catch back up.

The Clark County, Nevada District Attorney's office has launched "home for the holidays," an amnesty program created to recover outstanding child support payments.

The program is being offered to noncustodial parents whose driver's licenses have been suspended and/or have a child support warrant issued in their name. Those who participate in the program will meet with a case manager to negotiate a one-time payment.  After the payment has been made, all warrants will be eliminated and driving privileges will be reinstated.

The program begins today and runs through November 21.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger hopes the program will help parents resolve their support issues so they can spend time with their families over the holidays without worrying about being arrested and incarcerated.
