Second Warning Issued by County Attorney's Office for Non-Custodial Parents (NCPS) Who Owe Child Support

On May 24th, 2025 the Jackson County Attorney's Office posted the following message to their social media site: "The failure of a parent to pay child support is a failure of the most fundamental and basic responsibilities of a person who chooses to bring a child into this world. 

THIS IS A WARNING! You have 30 days to get your case into compliance. After that, if you are not making regular monthly payments in full on your child support obligation and you are $2,500.00 or more delinquent on your child support obligation, you can expect felony criminal charges to be filed against you from my office. 
NCPs!! You have two (2) choices! Either pay your child support or we will do our best to send you to prison!" 

On June 07[th], 2025 the Jackson County Attorney's Office posted a follow-up message and a second warning. The message was as follows: 

"SECOND WARNING!! The issuance of child support warrants has begun. So far we've prepared 5 criminal complaints and 4 warrants have been issued. It has taken a bit of time for my child support office to modify enforcement procedures, but we are now preparing to submit warrant requests every day. If you already owe more than $2,500.00 and are not paying your court ordered child support, you can expect criminal charges to come your way. If you owe less than this, then don't let it get above the $2,500.00 mark. Even if you owe more than $2,500.00, if you haven't been served yet, there is probably still time for you to get your name off our black list by making your child support payments. If you do nothing, your time is coming. So we suggest you do what is right and pay for the support of those innocent children you brought into this world."
