New Mexico Collects $123 Million in Child Support Payments

In the state of New Mexico, it has been reported that the Human Services Department has been able to collect over $123 million through child support enforcement efforts. The constant efforts made by the department led to the huge collection total this past fiscal year.

The recent total is up seven percent compared to the previous year and is a record amount for the agency, say local news sources. Reports also show that three-fifths of the money collected came through the withholding of parents' wages. Other payments came through the collection of tax refunds, direct payments, and even gambling winnings.
