A top priority in the lives of Arizona parents
should be the well-being of their children. For a
number of reasons, parents may decide to split.
In today's world, it often takes financial
support from both parents to meet the needs of
children, and single parents often struggle
financially to support their children, regardless
of income. For this reason, child support laws
have been established across the country. Those
that break these laws and neglect to pay child
support can face hefty fines and even jail
time.   In an attempt to collect unpaid child
support, a county in another state recently
served several arrest warrants and conducted a
roundup of parents who have neglected their child
support payments. According to reports, 18 total
people were arrested. To locate those whom had
arrest warrants, officers often contacted the
parents of the offenders. One officer said that
the parents were more than willing to help.

Of those arrested, the amounts owed ranged from
about 1,000 to 73,000, officers said. Most of
those arrested were taken in on warrants for
nonpayment of child support, but a few others
also had arrest warrants for other alleged
crimes, reports said. County officials said that
this type of roundup is done at least once a
year.   Refusing to pay child support can mean
stiff penalties for the non-custodial parent and
could even mean jail time. However, neglecting to
make these payments affects children the most.
Those in Arizona who have questions regarding
child support laws should seek the services of a
knowledgeable and experienced attorney.   Article
