Officers Arrest 12 during Child Support Sweep

Deputies with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office were successful during Operation Deadbeat Dad last week which resulted in twelve arrests so far. They were given 120 warrants to serve for a variety of reasons; however, the majority fell under failure to make child support payments.

While Operation Deadbeat Dad gained emphasis in the news recently, their attempt to crack down on child support warrants actually began in earnest on November 1. According to officials with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office 75 to 80 people have been arrested since Nov. 1.

If you have been trying to get your former spouse or partner to make their child support payments without any success, it is time to enlist a family law attorney to get the legal help you need. You don't have to suffer alone on your quest to get the money you need to take care of your children and your own finances.
