The Jackson County Attorney remains steadfast in prosecuting individuals that are not fulfilling their obligations of child support that have been clarified through court orders. The County Attorney’s Office issued an update a couple weeks ago stating, “Child support enforcement update. My office submitted 8 child support criminal complaints last week for flagrant non-support and 8 warrants for arrest were issued by the Jackson District Court.
As you know, our focus is shifting from civil enforcement to criminal enforcement for all NCPs (noncustodial parents) who owe $2,500.00 or more in child support and are not actively paying as ordered now that we have a Commonwealth Attorney that takes child support crimes seriously.
Because there are so many cases, it is taking us a bit of time to re-task but we are getting there.
After the first of the year 2026, we will stop having civil child support court on the 3rd Tuesday of each month because of this shift in focus. Civil enforcement doesn't seem to get through to some people. So criminal enforcement it has to be. I don't like this. I don't like sending people to prison. But you've left me no choice.
There is still time for you NCPs who aren't paying to start. If you don't take action, you will end up with criminal charges and we will do our best to send you to prison, unless you turn it around. As it states in First Timothy 5:8, "But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." If you bring children into the world, you need to provide for them. And the sooner you start, the better it will be. But under the law, the only thing that the Commonwealth can force you to do is PAY YOUR CHILD SUPPORT! We can't make you be a good parent and provide emotional support for your children, but we can at least do that.
Anyway, if you are sitting at home hoping that we will miss or look over you, we won't. I don't care who you are related to or how important you think you are. It may take us a little while but we will get to you.
I will leave this on a slightly positive note. Some of you understood me when I started telling you what was coming. Some of you are paying better than you have in years or even ever. You lot have made me happy and are safe from criminal charges for delinquent child support out of my child support office, so long as you keep it up. I am not happy with the others. We are coming.
Pay your child support. You and I will both be happier.
Have a great rest of the year!”
In the most recent case(s) to find their way to court, Angel Anthonie Brewer, 33, of Georgetown, KY was arraigned in District Court on September 29, 2025 in two cases: 25-F-00109 & 25-F-00010. Jackson County Attorney Ross Murray obtained complaint warrants in both cases on September 25, 2025.
In Complaint Warrant #E05510005064186 (Case #25-F-00109), the County Attorney alleges that Brewer violated KRS 530.050 (2)(a) flagrant nonsupport, in that he has persistently failed to provide support, which he can reasonable provide, and which he knows he has a duty to provide by virtue of a court order. Child support was ordered by the Fayette Family Court beginning on May 01, 2016 in the amount of $195.00 per month. The case was transferred to the Jackson County Family Court on June 15, 2025. Brewer allegedly became $2,576.46 delinquent on May 01, 2018.
In Complaint Warrant #E05510005063920 (Case #25-F-00110), the County Attorney alleged that Brewer violated KRS 530.050 (2)(a) flagrant nonsupport, in that he has persistently failed to provide support, which he can reasonably provide, and which he knows he has a duty to provide by virtue of a court order. Child support was ordered by the Jackson County Family Court beginning on November 01, 2016 in the amount of $207.94 per month. From April 01, 2019, to April 01, 2020, Brewer allegedly became $2,651.43 delinquent on this child support obligation.
During his arraignments before Judge Allen B. Roberts on Monday, Brewer entered a plea of “not guilty” in both cases. Preliminary hearings for both cases were scheduled for November 10, 2025.
As in all cases at this stage of adjudication, the charges are allegations, and the defendant is innocent until proven guilty by due process and determined to be so by the court.
