Get your child support business in order
Many Courts in Wayne County are offering amnesty on tickets in the upcoming 30 days. This is also a great time to address any child support issues with the Wayne County Friend of the Court.
In fact, The Salvation Army William Booth Legal Aid Clinic will be on hand to assist. In a collaborative effort, Wayne County Friend of the Court is conducting a FREE child support help program on Saturday, April 16 at the Detroit Public Library, 5201 Woodward Ave., in the “Friends Auditorium” from 1–4 p.m.
Attendees will have the chance to sit one-on-one with volunteer family law attorneys, who will assist in completing motion packets and provide some legal direction on child support, parenting time, and custody issues. All services are provided at no costs.
There will be a brief informational session on the importance of being proactive with your child support and paternity issues, as well as introductions to the Third Circuit Court “Specialty Court Dockets.” Child support professionals will be on site to register participants on the MiChildSupport website, and there will be staff dedicated to assisting the public with completing “Michigan State Discharge of Arrearage” packets.
This is an arrest free zone. More 150 people attended the event in October 2015 and received the help they needed.
